What online mapping tools does /out/ use?
I usually use Mapometer to plan routes and save them. For general map work I usually use Open Street Map (which I have an app on my phone which allows you to save areas for offline) I also use Ordinance Survey maps by going through Walk4life.
Does anyone use any other software or websites and any recommendations?
Uh oh, forgot links!
Mapometer: http://gb.mapometer.com/
Open Street Map: https://www.openstreetmap.org/
(I also use Open Cycle Map for finding cycle routes): http://www.opencyclemap.org/
Walk4life (for free OS maps): http://www.walk4life.info/find-a-walk
had a nice map downloader that could scrape images from various places and make some huge aerial views...forgot the name
still looking for suggestions for offline gps apps for saving points of interest
I use map marker to mark down cool locations i want to remember. I dont use trails so i dont use a trail mapper. I work at a state library and have access to our rare book and map room and sometimes find old mining and logging camps to explore
I use http://www.mappedometer.com/
It uses google as a base map and gives you distance and elevation graphs. I use it to keep track of my bike routes, but people use it for hikes and shit too. Any trails that are in google maps (most major trails are, i.e. Appalachian trail etc) can be plotted and you get handy dandy distance and elevation results. Also lets you save maps and routes with a free account. It's neat and easier'n OP's mum.
http://www.hawg-view.com/ is great, especially if you now how to nav with MGRS

It has USNG which with datum WGS84 is the same as MGRS

This would be perfect if you could upload a *.gpx file
Are there any Brits here who know a good site that allows you plot routes that uses OS maps?
