I've read about the NS10 a number of times over the years and I have got the impression that they were popular because they were the most averagely least-bad monitors for many years, leading to an exceptionally versatile monitor (swiss

Sorry, I don't know. I used the OSM website for the purpose of this comparison. I use the Magic Earth app on my phone, which has proprietary route planning (using open street maps).
