iCloud backup problem
Having a few problems recently if I try to backup the app on iCloud it wants to copy the entire maps a good 1Gb of data. All it needs to back up is my personal data from the app, which is a few Kb. Any chance of fixing this?

So I have been a regular subscriber to pro maps for years and then here I am on holiday, unable to access. App Store shows my pro subscription but restoring my purchases does nothing, logging in and out does nothing, uninstalling and reinstalling (and then tapping restore purchases) does nothing. Tired of all the steps and time wasting on holiday and now having to write this. Brassed off in the extreme. Junk app.
Don’t buy this! It’s just a sales pitch for the pro version without which there is zero functionality.
Record a route and can view the stats ie time taken, max speed, ave speed then after a short time it disappears and all I get is elevation gain and max height.
I just could use it. Paid my £1.99, downloaded the free national parks maps, but couldn't use it to plan a fairly simple hike in the Brecon Beacons. Perhaps it was just me. Deleted it. I’ll find another app.
Useless search function; not enough zoom to see where you are. Frustrating!
The maps are clear right through all scales. The download system is incredibly sensibly by area. Works perfectly offline, something many don’t and when your out on the hills this is invaluable. You can upload gpx files and have the route overlay a map, bit convoluted system using the web site to do it but it works. Only thing it’s missing is snap/magnetic route planning, seems harsh to dock a star for that but it’s not perfect, close but not quite. I’ve tried others and always come back Outdoors GB. Best annual subscription I pay for
You can either use this with live online maps or download numerous different 1:50K and 1:25K maps for offline use in different areas of the country: regions, counties, National Parks, areas of natural beauty etc. NB you are not prompted to update these so it’s worth deleting and reloading them occasionally. The Great Britain 1:250K Road Atlas map provided is years out of date so not reliable for route planning. I don’t use the route mapping and feel that’s given too much prominence - it’s far too easy to press the large button to start recording a route by mistake.
As the title suggests, this app just works: trustworthy and reliable, I have purchased many maps for offline use and now I have the unlimited OS Maps subscription too. For anyone trying to give a negative review; learn how to use the app and the maps, only bad workmen blame their tools. One wish? Please allow me to use this with Apple CarPlay
Update 29/4/23: After the latest update its loading again & seems to be working fine so back to 5 stars. 24/4/23 update to the below, 1 week on & the app still doesn’t load, no update from the developers. 17/4/23: Had this for years & it’s been very good, however today, it’s not loading - app just shows loading photo & sticks (iPhone XS, iOS 16.4.1).
