Techies and geeks like me will also like the stats ViewRanger gives you such as distance walked and average speed.

If you’ve wandered off route deliberately, you can tell it to be quiet for a bit. If you go off route, ViewRanger will start beeping, vibrating and shouting at you to let you know. You tap the route shown on the map then tap ‘Follow Route’. You upload the GPX file to your routes in ViewRanger, save it, then synchronise using the ViewRanger app on your phone. The Getamap website has a few little glitches which you’ll get to know and love – for example, if you switch to aerial view then back to maps, make sure you click your route again before creating your next point or you’ll have to start again – and you don’t know it’s gone wrong until you try to use the file – but on the whole it’s the best tool for the job in my opinion.Īlternatively, you can make the route directly on the ViewRanger website, but if you want to use OS maps it does require you to have bought the area you’re viewing first. Once you’re done, you can export the route as a GPX file. It has OS maps for the whole UK at 1:25000 and you can create routes by clicking your mouse to create waypoints. You do need to pay for them but they’re not that expensive and ViewRanger’s clever credit-based pay-per-square system means you need only download (and pay for) what you need. No worries, I want OS maps too so that’s what I use. OpenStreetMaps? But I want Ordnance Survey Maps!

The trial version is free and you’ll have free access to OpenStreetMaps mapping, which is decent and improving.

You’ll need an Apple iPhone, Android phone, Blackberry, Kindle Fire HDX or Symbian phone (or a proper dedicated GPS device – but you’ll already know everything I’m saying here if you have one of those, I’m sure!). A smartphone app such as ViewRanger will guide you from one to the next. What is a GPX file?Ī GPX file is essentially a list of numbers that equate to points on a map. It is honest advice from someone who’s searched out the best tools for them and is telling you about them.

I’m not paid by ViewRanger (I wish!), I’m not paid by Ordnance Survey (I really, really wish!) nor do I get any freebies from anyone (sadly…). It's short on bells and whistles, but this program presents a GUI that makes it easier for experienced users to compress files using UPX.Put simply, if you have a smartphone you won’t get lost on a walk – even if you’ve never been there before.Īll I say below is based on what I do.

There isn't a way to choose the destination directory for compressed files and the Help file doesn't tell you where the archive will be placed. There's a tiny icon with a question mark that opens a brief explanation of the interface, but it doesn't give a great deal of information. Once you make your selections, it should take only a click of the Run button to create or open an archive. It consists of a field to enter the file you want to compress, radio buttons to choose Compress or De-Compress, and a few check boxes to choose the compression level and create backups.

Launch the program from its folder and a small, very plain interface appears. GPX downloads with the compression program, UPX, but doesn't add shortcuts to the Start menu or desktop. This freeware executable makes it easier to use another program that compresses specific types of files, and even conveniently includes it in the installation package.
