Best app for planning hacks?

[Da5912]

Is there an app out there for planning hacks and looking at the available routes when hacking somewhere new?
Thanks

I always use the OS map app.

I use viewranger as I even though you get the OS maps free when you buy the paper ones (I do prefer to do rough plan on paper as you can see a bigger area more easily) I can't get on with the OS app as much.

I didn't know you could see bridleways on the app - would you mind sharing how to see? Thank you

I use a combo of streetmap.co.uk to actually find the bridleways/little roads then onthegomap.com for distance calcs. Its one of the best ones i have found for actually picking up tracks/footpaths etc.

I prefer openstreetmap.org

I find footpaths & bridlepaths are clearer than an OS map as there's less 'other stuff' to distract (I'm talking paper version OS maps though, no experience of the app).

View ranger is better than most as it shows all tracks so especially good if you in woods at thetford Etc

I have the paid version so bridleways appear on the OS leisure map. I think it cost £23 for a years subscription to the whole of the UK. I love it, we are avid walkers too so it has been useful for finding new footpaths. The app has a function where you can plan a route which you can save to follow later or share with someone else.
