PocketGPSWorld Exclusive MemoryMap For Android Article by: Mike Barrett Date: 8 Dec 2011 Memory-Map are getting ready to launch their latest mapping system on Android SmartPhones. This is the latest evolution of the tried and trusted map viewer, route manager, waypoint manager, and track recorder we have been using for ten years or so. You can download the app from.
Memory Map Navigator 2004 Topographical software review. The big news for UK users is the availability of the Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 Explorer maps for selected areas of the country. Something I have been waiting for for a long time now. Memory-Map OS Explorer 1:25,000 Maps of the Lake District, Retail price £99.95.

You can also take advantage of the QR reader feature that a lot of phones have nowadays and scan in the QR Code on the right. I gave the app a quick once over today and will be looking at it in more detail in the coming weeks. Suffice to say Memory-Map is quite intuitive to use, and if you still have some 'old tech' Memory-Map V5 PC mapping data still around then these can be loaded onto your Android device by purchasing the Classic Map Compatibility option. As you may have noticed in other news we are having a Bumper Bag of Goodies competition for Christmas. Memory-Map have kindly donated a copy of Memory-Map OS Landranger GB 1:50,000 maps worth £100.
These can be used on up to 5 devices owned by the user. Memory-Map Android application features follow: This is the Memory-Map product information for the new Android application: Memory-Map® Free turns your Android Smartphone or Tablet into an outdoor GPS and allows you to navigate with Ordnance Survey® and many other topo maps, marine and aviation charts.

Sounds promising, Memory Map and TomTom are the only reason I continue to use WM6.5 as my daily OS. If those two apps do work with android I may abandon my current dual boot setup of WM6.5 + Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 and go native NAND 'droid. It'd certainly make my transition more likely.checks dates.

Hi, Yes MM, as with their iPhone/Pad App, are changing their licensing model (to pay for the new software development cost): If you buy 'license-managed' maps or 'download credits' from their Digital Maps Shop (.QC3 file format) then the App is free, but to use MM maps which you already own (.QCT file format), you need to buy a 'Classic Maps' license. Further, to use maps not originally sold by MM, e.g. Scanned/copied/calibrated with the PC software, you need a '3rd Party Maps' license (previously called a 'Navigator' license, or a 'Discoverer to Navigator upgrade').

Posted by AllyCat on Tue Dec 13, 2011 10:19 am Hi, The Android App is currently available in Beta form and you can get a free 30 day trial license (which needs to be 'reset' each time an update is released).

The 'droid version of MM is rubbish, the licensing options are a joke considering as a tax payer I contributed to the creation of the data. As a customer I bought a complete set of 1:50k and 1:25k and now I'm expected to fork out again because I want to use a different OS on my phone to access data which I've paid for twice already.
Posted by pillboxman on Fri Dec 16, 2011 11:05 pm Don't blame MemoryMap, it's not their fault. Ordnance Survey put the most ridiculous restrictions on the license for companies and individuals who use the data. CamerAlert Apps iOS QR Code Android QR Code GPS Shopping.
