Overall it’s a great way of getting all the maps for Britain’s National Parks, and is probably the easiest digital mapping application to pick up and use as a newcomer.

What's It For? On one level, The National Parks of Great Britain is a cheap way of getting 1:50,000 scale Ordnance Survey maps for your PC a lot cheaper than you could by buying them, and then just print out the bits you need as and when required.  At the other extreme ...  Continue reading

"For some reason the competition doesn’t seem to have picked up on the way Anquet allows you split a route into separate tracks – perfect for mapping long distance routes and breaking them down into manageable parts. "

not quite true. with Tracklogs you don't need to be messy and split anything up because it doesn't distinguish between routes and tracks. that decision is made by the user at the time of export to a gps. you can export both as a route and/or a track.

turn up anywhere on a long distance track and navigate to wherever you wish to go.

Methinks you've misunderstood the comment. Anquet lets you download as either route or track too.

What Anquet lets you do is have a "tree" structure of routes and (what I like to call route-lets). So - you could have a whole database full of routelets and then stitch them together into one longer route - then export the whole lot as a route or track. 

e.g. Route 1 is from Point A to Point B

Route 2 is from Point B to Point C

I can cut and paste these into Route A - which will then show Routes 1 and 2 as components of it. 

If I've started with a longer route, I can click on any point, split it and I end up with two route-lets. 

I'm pretty sure Anquet used to refer to these as Paths, but that was dropped to avoid confusion.

I'm not sure what's quite so special or unique about that.

Quo certainly lets you split a route into two sections in that way. And you can combine two routes simply by selecting and pasting all the waypoints from one onto the end of the other - maybe not quite so slick as the Anquet method (?) but still pretty quick and straightforward.
