OMN - Outdoor Map Navigator

I accidentally overlapped with subscriptions and they contacted me before I flagged it up and sorted it out satisfactorily. Good proactive support.

I have used OMN for several years now, mainly for UK mapping, but jolly useful for the IGN mapping of France at 1:25000. I’ve used the latter on tour in France, just as seamlessly as using OS products in the UK. Recommended.

I’ve used Anquet for 10+ years for walking mostly - good on smartphone. Even now I find the user interface sparse and unintuitive, the titles in the menu don’t mean a lot until you’ve opened them and done a trial and error learning session. Pulldown help files needed.

Really appreciate the super clear maps, impressive customisation options, and offline functionality. Furthermore, the app is really stable and performant on my ageing iPhone.

I was looking for an app to help me navigate the coast to coast using GPX files. OMN was recommended and I took out a trial. The short version is that when it works, the app is fine (if clunky and far from intuitive). However my experience over the past month has been that the app is actually pretty unstable, often drops my imported route, restarts often after frequent crashes, and once dropped all my maps — when I was stuck on a route with very low connectivity. For all these reasons I would say proceed with caution. I appreciated the responsive support, but would appreciate even more not having to seek it out. Specific points: - complex user interface without onboarding / tips etc. Expected to just figure it out. - no way to import GPX files on iOS, requiring a desktop install and clunky (manual) sync between devices - once I start following an imported route, I’d expect the app to re-open on it. Instead it drops the route, forcing me to re-open the GPX, and reset my location and styles etc - I bought an annual subscription which included a seven day trial. I was mid way on my hike when the trial expired, and even tho I had paid and would expect the trial to just continue, the app locked me out and dropped my maps (I could still see the route, but no maps). I didn’t have connectivity so this was a major issue. - I had downloaded all the maps in advance, but on occasions the app would drop tiles or crash - I was running the app mainly in airline mode with low battery mode turned on

I’ve been using this software for more than 5 years and it’s great. It works well on PC, iPhone, iPad and MacBook. I highly recommend it.

I’ve been using OMN since the very early days, having tried a number of different platforms. I find it easy to use and generally intuitive.

I’m resending this review because the issue is still unresolved. Am I really the only user who wants to listen to music while using OMN maps?? I love this app for all my outdoor activities but every time I use it whilst playing music the music stops! I have asked for this to be fixed for several years and though they say they intend to do it nothing changes… No other map I have has this problem so why does this one? PLEASE sort it out! Thank you

… this app finds all.

I really like OMN. It combines excellent current mapping with the ability to load historical maps. I particularly value the ability to select which maps to download so they are available without an internet commection. Great printing Options if a hardcopy is required. Still the best mapping app for UK, IoM & France.
