Hi,

I have just got a Garmin 800 with the OS mapping and am looking for a site that will help me plot routes and them send to the 800

I have looked around a bit but cant seem to find any that have OS mapping(showing footpaths as well as bridleways) ....any ideas boys n girls ?

Also looking for listing with on and off road routes that i can get off the net and send to the 800

Cheers

Andy

Ordnance Survey have just released their own site for planning etc. Haven't played with it yet myself but it's here;

Cheers chaps that something for me to have a look at

I found "Where's the path" just after i started this thread and it was very easy to use and with what looked like OS mapping (even has a direct link to Upload to Garmin !!), I did a little test route last night and followed it on foot with the dog...It worked a treat and even told me when I was off course, not too sure what it would be like when riding a bike in the peaks but will give that a go soon

Cheers !!
