I paid about £20 for OS 1:25,000 maps for the whole of Snowdonia when they had it on offer.
although obviously thats not as good value as Outdoors GB (which appears to offer unlimited usage for only £4.95/annum on Android ).
the event I'm partaking in.

Thanks all. Forgive my stupidity but do any of these options offer a satnav style view akin to Google Maps? That's principally what I want to access when I upload the GPX file for the event I'm partaking in.
I think that the £4.99 sub is just for 1:50k no?

That's principally what I want to access when I upload the GPX file for the event I'm partaking in.I haven't used the Strava app to follow a route, from reading up it doesn't sound like it does turn by turn directions. Maverick would let you 'trackback' along a GPX route but I think that's only a compass bearing along the route.ridewithgps.com gives you turn by turn directions, offline maps, iOS app etc but you'd need to pay for an account (basic or premium, not 'starter/free') to access this. You might be able to pay for just a month.Don't think you can upload a GPX route to Google Maps/Nav. Is the event off-road or on-road?
- Ideally ride with others at a similar pace to you, riding on other peoples wheels (as close as you feel comfortable) makes a big difference (20-30% less effort) especially over longer rides. Most effective on the flatter sections, and/or head wind. Try and rotate on the front to give everyone a rest.
it's better than being in the office for the day eh!
Having done a fair few longish rides, I would say if you are not trying to break any speed records. I would tend to try and eat more savoury things and drink water. I did 120 plus ride a couple of months ago and took some pittas with cheese and houmous in them which went down really well.I would only use gels if I was really blowing, also cliff bars do a packet of energy jellies which are much nicer to eat.

This guy should have checked out the advice on this thread....Chinese man cycles 500km in wrong direction to get home30-days! You'd think he'd have looked at a map at some point.
