I was using view ranger before. There are a bunch of things outdoor active does well, but oh my God, try to put a point of interest on the map: is absolutely horrible. If you are on the map you want to just be able to add something, not get into a new window where you see the whole world map again. Then when you look for a specific point but can't find it... You look for something close, but then when you zoom in the POI moves! Oh my... Please change this soon... It's bad! Only 3 stars for now.

Outdooractive has OS maps and makes it really easy to use them. You can plan routes and the plotting line snaps to the footpaths. You can also look at other routes people have plotted and posted publicly, which is great for a new area. The blue dot showing where you are and which direction you are facing is brilliant. I use this for every walk and run.

Originally I was unhappy when it was moved over from viewranger as I wasn't a fan of the change but I take back my bad review and give this a 5/5. The features have been great and it has worked wonders for me while bagging the Munros. Not only has the app been great but the customer service from the Outdooractive team has also been fantastic. I get quick replies which have resolved several small issues I have encountered.
