As a latecomer to the world of mapping software, GPS devices, etc. (up to now new technology has meant Ergopower & customised OS maps), I am profoundly ignorant about the variety & qualities of the map software available, & would be profoundly grateful for any advice.
Basically, I want something that Just Works, for planning & drawing routes that I can then load onto my new Satmap Active 10 GPS. I don't want to spend more than I have to, but neither do I want to pay peanuts if it means getting the monkey model. I don't care about frills. Ease of use is important: this is not for playing with.
What's good, what's OK, & for what should I carry a bargepole with extensions?
