Reading the advert, it appears that you will need to carry a paper map
with you as well. All it does is convert your GPS location to an OS grid
reference.

If you install Google Maps, you can download a local "tile" and it will
show your location on that tile, albeit on what is basically a road map
which shows the line of the canal. You need a reasonable mobile signal
to wiew the aerial imagery.

Useful info. for the emergency services when needed, I'd say. I prefer
this to W3W.

Post was prompted by an emergency at Autherley Junction some days ago:

Other satnav apps do this by default in that all of your maps are
downloaded and stored on the 'phone and thus all you ever need is GPS.
I use Here! Wego for this very reason, it rund without any need for
mobilr data (although it will use data if available for traffic
information and such).
