I'm another former Viewranger user and agree with the negative comments here. One good point is that the routes I had created transferred seamlessly to Outdoor Active. I also found it easy to plan new routes at home. But once outdoors, the app was worse than useless: it was positively dangerous. I tried navigating with it on three different hikes, and every time it crashed midway. I'll get rid of it as soon as I can find a replacement.

Just connected as asked to do. Tracks and routes there but not my purchased OS maps as far as I can see. Being forced into using a subscription service I do not want albeit Pro+ free; to view my tracks and routes. Unacceptable. You'd do better subscribing to the OS app. At least they would be around a lot longer and you have access to 25k. Feel exploited and let down.

I, like many was ported over to this from viewranger. This app is not fit to lace viewrangers boots! I spent a lot of money over many years of using viewranger to build up my coverage without paying out in one lump sum. I've now opened the app to find I am now only a basic member with just an open street map to use. How can outdooractive be aloud to get away with this? It seems that all that money I paid out for my 1:50:000 scale maps only gave me access to the pro+ version for a limited time!!!

Hi David, everyone who owned maps in ViewRanger gets at least the same maps permanently in Outdooractive via the legacy maps agreement. Once you have agreed, you'll see extra items on the map layers panel - an extra OS item for example. For more help, please email service@outdooractive.com.
