I like that this has topo maps. I'll have a look at it for that alone. Also worth trying "Here" Maps for pre-download mapping. This is the old Nokia maps, now

Also worth trying "Here" Maps for pre-download mapping. This is the old Nokia maps, now Microsoft. Its surprisingly good. I use it as my go-to for driving as the spoken directions seem to time better plus the interface is much cleaner and easy to read at a glance. Also they include speed limits + your GPS speed which are both useful. I still prefer Google Maps for looking up a business as they have better information.

- bigiain 11y agoMinor correction: HERE Maps got spun out from Nokia and were bought by Audi/Daimler/BMW late last year: http://www.digitaltrends.com/business/audi-bmw-and-daimler-have-agreed-to-spend-2-7-billion-on-nokias-here-mapping-tech/ http://www.digitaltrends.com/business/audi-bmw-and-daimler-h... Great maps, they include much better gradient data than other map providers - lots of logistics companies use HERE Maps because accurate gradient data turns into significant fuel savings if you're planning routes for 20+ ton freight trucks.
