In a very sensible commercial move (IMHO), Memory Map are to release their software on the iPhone platform.
Digital mapping has taken the outdoor industry by storm with new devices and software appearing regularly at trade shows. Memory Map software uses digital Ordnance Survey maps and currently is only available on the Pocket PC and the Road Angel device.
With the restriction to O2 lifted, this will make the iPhone 3GS the most complete digital tool for any outdoor enthusiast and help keep Memory Map well ahead of the game.
There is already a free OS Map application on the iPhone, [iOSMaps uses OS OpenSpace] but it is still quite early in it’s development.
Here is the quote taken from the Australian Memory Map forum…
Stop Press
Memory-Map is developing an i-Phone application that will be able to use the existing range of maps and charts published by Memory-Map. The release is expected in early 2010.
Fingers crossed this will apply to the UK too. Roll on ‘early 2010’.

They’re a bit late. The Mac OS X map developers, RouteBuddy, have had OS maps on the iPhone since the summer, cheaper than MM too. Craig

But the thing here Craig, is that lots of people have a large investment in Memory Map data and to be able to use it on a mobile device without buying it all again is a significant advantage over moving to a new system.
Anyway, who knows what will happen now digital OS maps are to be free. Right down to 1:10k.
Bring it on.
