    Another for viewranger.
    Have a good collection of all the mountain ranges in Ireland, the Ben Nevis/Glencoe area and a good portion of the French alps for cheap.
    The beauty of their system is that you only pay for the exact area you want.
    All 1:25000 where available and 1:50000 for Ireland.

    I'd love to get the EastWest Wicklow maps on viewranger. I know one of the guys from EastWest posts here, any chance of making it available?

    In short no chance, I've spoken to Dave of East West in great detail about this.

    "We did investigate other solutions: Garmin, MapYX and ViewRanger. We decided on working in conjunction with Satmap on the basis of (1) their hardware works well and especially in poor weather (2) they were prepared to make a more equitable share of revenue, reflecting the time & effort we put into capturing the detail and (3) we have found Satmap staff to be helpful and responsive."

    I had meant Dave, but the point still stands.

    I did and I still don't understand. You initially said you'd spoken to Dave, and then replied to your own post saying you actually meant Dave .. doesn't make any sense.
