Apple only (iPhone, iPad)

Need an App that uses 1:25k OS maps for planning and live navigation. Any recommendations?

Thanks.

Viewranger for me too, great app, mapping is reasonably priced IMO. Would rather pay a small amount than try and rely on a dodgy free app.

Thanks guys. Are purchases transferable between devices with Viewranger? i.e. if I purchase a map on the iPad, can I add to my iPhone without having to purchase again?

+1 Viewranger. Yes you can transfer the map purchases between devices. You have a VR account in the web portal and you authorise additional devices there. I do this between a Nokia N8 and an iPad, the bigger screen is used for planning routes then I sync to the N8 for field use.

1:50,000 for whole ok UK is £90, but you can just get individual tiles using a credits based system in both 1:50k and 1:25k

Think you would need to purchase the app for each device but I'm not sure how apple does things like that.
