We never used to head out looking for somewhere to stop overnight. We would always head for one of our tried and tested spots then explore when we get there and if we find somewhere new it’s a bonus. I’ve never used the poi’s just O/S Landranger maps.

And it helps us find dead end roads and quiet secluded places ...
Also gives you decent clues to the sort of road your travelling on and steep/hairpin bends are mostly noted ...
It's also useful for finding what's around you topographicaly too ...
Example ....
Find dead end road ending at the sea with little if ANY habitation around on OS map ...
Crosscheck on Google earth ...
Drive there and embrace the beautiful solitude of a unspoiled spot you've found with the added joy of it being like a little mini adventure ....
Rather than just heading where everyother bugger heads .
Depends a lot on whether you find maps interesting or not ...
I've always loved an OS map as there is so much fascinating info and detail on them ....
The route planning options are second to none IMHO ...
All in all ...its THE last subscription I'd cancel as its so useful to me .

Sounds good but Im struggling to see what it can do that I cant do on Google Maps on a laptop. Best thing Ive found in the past for finding hidden wild spots is the scooter!! More in Europe than here I suppose. I would find them when out and about and maybe explore down some hidden lanes then GPS them and go back with the van.

I’ve always used paper maps as technology isn’t reliable enough for the mountains. Landranger maps show a lot more detail and basically interesting stuff than google maps or earth.
I got the first one of the pictures, OS maps.
I use google maps too, OS is far more detailed, has a lot of routes for walking and cycling. Just a better map all round. I haven't even used half the features so far from knowledgable as to all it offers.
Google maps is like using a crap screwdriver from a £ shop. OS map is like using your fav quality screw driver. Both do the same job, one is just nicer.

Does it do vehicle navigation or have satellite images? a good map is useful for some of the fit, I can climb a mountain brigade but not so much for Liz and I.
I bet he finds those hidden wild spots, parks up and walks to the end of the lane and puts "No overnight camping" signs up. Actually, its a good idea that!
