Satmap use with computer offline

[stormin7039]

On holiday recently I stayed in a cottage where I had no broadband access to the internet.
This meant that I could not view, on my computer, my daily Satmap routes in conjunction with Route Planner or Route Converter, because online Google maps were not available.
Is there any way of viewing Satmap files on a computer when you have no access to the internet, bearing in mind that the map location required would vary considerably from day to day.

I find you can view them on tracklogs.co.uk - but you have to buy the maps and it takes a lot of CPU cycles to digest a satmap trail so PC seems to freeze while loading

I use Memory Map

[AllyCat]

Hi,

Yes, I use Memory Map as well because of my "investment" in their maps and because it also allows scan/import/calibration of other mapping. But to be impartial, there is also Anquet, perhaps still Fugawi and (to avoid Mike A needing to jump in ) Mapyx Quo. Also OziExplorer or GPSU to import your own maps.

Unfortunately, the software and/or mapping is not cheap so you need to consider the area of coverage (and map scale) that you want to use. Quo is probably the cheapest (free software) and you can start by (pre-)downloading a few fairly small map tiles.

OS Landranger (1:50K) mapping is fairly reasonably priced (say, 10% of a paper map), Explorer (1:25k) expensive (comparable to paper maps), but OS 1:1M (Miniscale planner), 1:250k (Roads) and 1:10k ("OS StreetView" - no footpaths) are now freely downloadable (with varying degrees of complication).

Cheers, Alan.
