Ordnance Survey maps for the UK

[KeithL]

With the demise of Viewranger due to it's takeover by the abysmal Outdoor Active app I started looking for a replacement and came across AlpineQuest which in my opinion is by far the best mapping app available.

I have the pro version and have been using it with some old QCT maps, these work great but they are more than 15 years out of date.

I am quite willing to pay for the latest OS mapping either outright or as a subscription.

Do you have any plans to make this available in AlpineQuest ?

I am sure the thousands of disgruntled users of Viewranger would find AlpineQuest a worthy or even better replacement.

Hi,
Right now unfortunately we don't have the ability to offer descent OS maps.
The OS make it almost impossible for small developers to offer this ability.

I can download OS Maps for offline use, but how do I get Alpine Quest to read them? When I used Memory Map maps previously,
Alpine Quest would move smoothly from one map to the adjacent one, how do I do this using my downloaded OS Maps.

If you're talking about stored maps by AlpineQuest, there is nothing to do the application will automatically use stored data when possible.

There was a discussion (a long time ago) on how to get OS maps for free using Bing online map key. I have tried to repeat it now - and surprisingly it worked for me perfectly. Apparently, this would violate OS legal rights and we won't discuss it here. That's said, there are a number of paid apps - including OS's own app, another one is Anquet maps, all reasonably priced. But! All of them so badly written so I cannot use them at all. The said Anquet maps simply hangs on my phone every 15 minutes. And of course, they are nowhere close to AlpineQuest in functionality. So I told myself after paying for OS maps to a few of the official apps I have all the rights to use a 'hacked' version in AlpineQuest, if all these apps are unusable for me

But I don't think it is totally impossible to include this feature into AlpineQuest legally, on a paid basis. Just knowing myself how important it is for UK outdoor enthusiasts, I would love to help implement this feature - of course, if this isn't absolutely impossible

I found this post about using Bing maps with another app, I have a Bing API key, does anyone know the syntax to create and AQX file to access bing maps?

Hi,
We need to be patient, François is working providing a function to enable us to purchase premium OSGB mapping.
