Get more from your digital topo maps... why plan your routes on a small screen?
An added bonus of buying digital IGN, Ordnance Survey and USGS maps from RouteBuddy is that they will also work with RouteBuddy for Windows and Mac OS X so you can easily plan your route on the big screen and then export your data via GPX or KML to your device.
Also you can view your recorded tracks in RouteBuddy on topo, road or aerial imagery.
