![]() New users probably aren’t going to encounter these. Individual map sections can be as small as 5-10Mb but the whole of the UK will take up considerably more, potentially 10-20 Gb of space! The map files can be very big, much bigger than the other file types. There are four main MM file types, two map types and two supporting file types. All maps purchased direct from MM will be the QC3 type. ![]() I cover the differences a little later in this guide. #GOOGLE MYTRACKS STILL USABLE LICENSE#Both types work with MM v5 and both types will work with MM v6, but you will need to purchase an additional license to use the QCT maps with the new version. Information for v5 users only: There are two types of MM maps – QCT maps and QC3 maps. The price is now as little as £40, depending on how you want to buy – see more information below. The days of having to spend (quite literally) thousands of pounds to buy 1:25k scale mapping for the whole of the UK are long-gone thankfully. The price of OS maps has reduced so much over the past few years that it hardly makes any sense to purchase from dubious sources, just to save a couple of quid. If you do stumble across cheap map offers online, then my advice would be to ignore them, there’s a good chance they will no longer work with v6 and they may even be bootleg copies. This is no longer the case and maps can only be purchased directly from MM themselves. You used to be able to buy OS maps for MM from third party suppliers like Amazon and Go Outdoors, even on eBay. For the purposes of this guide we are only intested in the Ordnance Survey maps, and more specifically the 1:25k and 1:50k UK maps. The maps are what you purchase and there are many different types of maps and different options when it comes to purchasing them. #GOOGLE MYTRACKS STILL USABLE SOFTWARE#MM Ordnance Survey Maps: MM v6 Download: The MM software itself is provided free, but it’s absolutely no use whatsoever without some maps. ![]() The previous versions of this guide referred to both v5 and v6 software, but as you can no longer download the v5 software and all new updates will only be available in v6, we will concentrate on the functionality provided by this version of the product.Ī couple of useful links to MM resources are provided for reference: For those outside of the UK Ordnance Survey maps are the ones typically used by hikers and walkers in this country. The previous versions of MM had a European Edition to support Ordnance Survey (OS) maps, but this latest version is just “Memory Map”. In what appears to be a change from previous releases, the latest (v6) version is international. Memory Map (called MM from now on) software is free to download. ![]()
