How do you find your way?
As these reviews show, the navigation landscape has changed in the past 10 years. To find out where we are now, we polled CW readers….
I love my app
‘I love that OS Maps looks identical to the paper map – I can use both to plan; the map to get the full view of the area and the app to zoom in and to map out and follow a route.’ Niki from Leeds ‘It gives me the confidence to adapt my route or change my mind last minute and to tackle less clear paths. It also helps me find new route ideas.’ Gemma from NW England 'We met a council footpath inspector in Kent following up a report of a blocked footpath, and were able to show him where it was on our OS Maps app as he couldn't understand his map!' Janet from Derbyshire
Handheld buddy
‘My Garmin eTrex is simple to use, rugged and uses AA batteries so I can easily carry spares.’
Paper is king!
‘My paper map works in all situations, never runs out of battery, and it feels good relying on my own brain rather than technology.’
My watch wins
‘It's rugged, has incredible battery life, turn by turn directions, you can set it up to message certain contacts if something goes wrong and it gives me all the health related metrics I could ask for’
