The Road Angel 7000 can use Memory Map software. Road Angel and Memory Map teamed up to produce the software for the Road Angel 7000 to make it a truly fantastic unit like no other available on the market. Memory Map are the industry leaders in electronic OS, Marine and CAA mapping.
Road Angel 7000 in OS mode
You will see the Road Angel sold as the Adventure, it is however the same unit as the 7000 only with OS maps included, less the Europe road navigation. You can buy a standard 7000 and upgrade it for free to use the 30 day trial or by paying £50 you can add Memory Map maps to your existing Road Angel 7000.
OS Maps and Marine Maps. Aviation maps also an option
We have been using the National Parks Package, £50 and this gets you all the UK's National parks in OS50 scale for walking and its is just fantastic. Drive to the location using Road Angel software, turn off the Road Angel software and turn on Memory Map and go for a walk and you get a plot of where you have been. You can plan routes, see elevation profiles it just does so much you will be amazed and we suggest you look at www.memory-map.co.uk to get a true idea on what is on offer. With a few simple tricks adjusting the on screen brightness and time I am managing 11 hours on battery alone.
I have been using it for walking since December 06 and in some really bad weather in Snowdonia, its been sat in snow, dropped, allowed to sit in heavy rain and as yet all I have managed is a small scratch on the screen and believe me its had a hard time. This is such a cool feature, it is the ultimate GPS for driving a recreation.
This is one of the best GPS devices on the market at the moment for what it can do, and if you are looking for a unit to use in the car, walking, cycling, boating, flying or anything outdoors for that, then for the money you wont get a better unit. Its best bought as a 7000 and then buy the upgrade maps for the OS side.
Can we recommend it, Yes.
The Road Angel Adventurer is the ultimate GPS for driving and recreation!
