Has anyone got an opinion on what map system is good to use on a pc. I presently use trailguage which is a free download for the bacic system and allows for all my runs over the mountains to be measured accurately - the registered version ($19) even works out height gains etc. The only downside is that you need to scan the map in question beforehand and therefore if you run in a lot of different areas it takes a lot of time and uses up a lot of the computers memory. Does anyone know about the Anquet maps (£32.99) or the Memory Map discovery range (£39.99). What will these programmes do?

Havent got a clue what you're talking about but nice to see you back on the Forum.
:-)
I will try again - when I go wobbling over the mountains I like to know how far I have been. There are various programmes available that you can plot the route you have been on and hey presto it tells you how far you have been - more often than not it tells you that you have been no where near as far as you thought. Trailguage is a free download off the internet but relies on scanned maps - I think the other programmes refered to above already have the maps loaded and therefore (I think) would not be such a burden on the computers memory.
Now I have typed all this - I dont think I have made myself any clearer.
Cheers
I live right on the edge of the Beacon National Park and whilst most of my running comes within the park, I also tend to go running up on the radnor hills as well - which is outside. You have confirmed what I thought about the anquet mapping.
I had never heard of tracklog - but have now been on there site and Region 4 covers practically everywhere I wobble - including the Wye Valley Walk through Hereford and down to Ross and Chepstow - which I use a lot for long runs. Just ordered it so hopefully it will satisfy my computer geekish moods. Thanks

I now look forward to the disappointment of finding out that the 25 mile run I do quite frequently is only something like 15 miles.
