Should you get the Ordnance Survey APP?

- The best of both worlds. The paper map on your phone! Can you rely just on the Ordnance Survey APP for walking? I think i'm hooked!
Let me know what you think. AND, don't forget to like and subscribe. Thanks!

I am thinking about getting this but was wondering .. what happens when the phone doesn't receive a signal. There are places in the middle of my town where there's no signal, so I am sure on the fells of the Lake District or The Cheviots, the loss of signal is almost certain
Will this app then stop showing your exact position?
Thanks
Hi. If you download the area of the map where you want to go on the device, then it works perfectly when there is no signal. Just make sure you download when you have signal. I’ve used it loads with no signal. It’s a game changer.

@@brianmorrison9168hi I was in The Lakes a few weeks back first time in about 5 or 6 years. Surprisingly the phone signal is not as bad as you’d think. I was hiking over in the west side looking for the incredible Stanley Ghyll Waterfall. We got lost haha in fairly treacherous weather. I tried my phone Google Maps got a decent signal actually followed it to find the waterfall and that literally was in the middle of nowhere surrounded by woodland.
@@jamies_adventures didn't work for me unfortuntely. I'd offlined the map at home, but when I was out in the field and the phone lost signal the route disappeared. Super annoying as I was half way around and had to try and guess the way back!
@redabdab ahh that’s a shame. I use it all the time offline and it works perfectly still. Up in North Wales right now doing exactly that. I wonder what happened?
