I've been using the UKMap app for OS maps for a couple of years. It'll be interesting to see what (if anything) this offers over and above that one.

  The fact you can get the app for free and then 10km square tiles for 69p as opposed to having to pay £7.99 for the whole country?

    > 10km square tiles for 69p The whole of the UK would cost £1700 at that price. Given that Bing has OS maps (which incidentally are very good) for free, I suspect the market for this will be limited.

      But most people don't need the whole country, they want a couple of tiles near their home or where they're on holiday. I agree the pricing is off but I think there's a model for something short of the whole country for £8. Sure there are people who will want the whole thing (for about the price of one paper map) but not everyone.

      The problem with Bing is that you often need your OS maps in places that don't have internet connection. I'd rather have them already loaded on my device.

    Is UK Map £7.99? I don't remember ever having had to pay for it, but maybe I got it in a sale. The 1:25,000 maps, which seem to be the most detailed I can get (the UK Map one offers 1:25K and 1:10K) are £2.49. To cover Nottingham alone, that would be £9.96.
