This mapping system works really well, the downside is you do have to pay for each map that you want to use. RouteBuddy is for iPhone and iPad and supplies topographical, aerial, road and Ordnance Survey mapping. Whatever your stance on them, it can’t be denied that they are a useful tool when it comes to walking and have encouraged many people to get into hiking who may not have headed out otherwise.

#ROUTEBUDDY REVIEW SOFTWARE#

I would highly recommend this software to anyone looking for such software as it provides an extremely high quality, all round GPS and mapping package.Generally people seem to swing one of two ways when it comes to a walking app, they either find them super useful and would use them on most walks, or they like an old-fashioned route map and wouldn’t touch a walking app with a barge pole. There is an online store at /, from which you can download additional road maps for the software for around $16.99. You can purchase the software for as much as $99.50 which is not a bad price, all things considered.

You can download the demo from as well as look to invest in the full version of the software.

#ROUTEBUDDY REVIEW MAC OS X#

In terms of compatibility, you must be running Mac OS X 10.4 or later, which most Mac users will be.

#ROUTEBUDDY REVIEW PC#

Unfortunately for most, this software is not available on Windows, therefore does not apply to the vast majority of PC users. Two contrasting places which offer almost entirely different maps.Īll in all, it is a great mapping application that will satisfy every user, almost guaranteed. Unfortunately, the demo version of the software only includes two zones Santa Fe, New Mexico and Yosemite Valley, California. In terms of quality, the maps that are delivered through this software are of high quality graphically and are wholly accurate when compared to other maps. This allows you to share your routes and library with other users of RouteBuddy and Google Maps. Lastly, you can also link your map data to Google Earth and Google Maps. In truth, there are most likely more than you will ever use, as there is with all good software packages in my opinion. Overall, there are so many features that you couldn’t possibly ask for more from mapping and GPS software.

Once you have planned your route, you can track the route as you go and save it to your library. You can create a library of common addresses and filter these using the search facility in all manner of ways. Other features include a useful search facility where you can filter road maps via postal codes or addresses.

This proves almost essential, particularly when planning long or unfamiliar journeys as you can map it in advance before quickly transferring to your GPS device when you feel you have calculated the fastest journey. Analysing your routes and plotting faster or alternative routes if necessary. Firstly, you can use the application for management of your maps and routes. With this being primarily a desktop application, it possesses a great deal more capability than the usual GPS software that you find as default on the majority of standard devices. You can then transfer your routes and information between your Mac and your GPS device quickly and easily depending on the capability of your GPS device. Not only can it be used upon GPS devices as mentioned before, you can also keep it as a desktop application where it can be used efficiently for route planning and general mapping of destinations. In terms of features, RouteBuddy is not in short supply. Even the download was relatively fast and I was up and running in almost the blink of an eye, as with many, if not all applications on Mac OS X.

Almost everything I encountered with this application was needless to say, somewhat impressive. So, I was initially impressed which held the software in good stead as we all know, first impressions are everything, yes even with software. According to the official site, the application works with many other devices from Garmin, TomTom and several more from less well known brands as well as GPS enabled mobile phones. Clearly, I do not own endless supplies of GPS devices so could not put it to the test, but it worked extremely well with my iPhone none the less. The first real thing that impressed me, before I ever downloaded the software, was its great compatibility with a wide range of devices. Personally, after experiencing the shall we say, limited demo of the software, I was very impressed and if I ever found myself wanting such software, this would certainly be my first port of call. The majority of user reviews tend to support this bold claim from the developers.
