Atlas
The Atlas free download version is available from the iTunes store and enables you to access OpenStreetMap on-line maps and any RouteBuddy topographic off-line maps (e.g. Ordnance Survey or USGS) that you purchase either from the RouteBuddy Store or one of our approved vendors such as the Ordnance Survey Map Store.
All maps you purchase for Atlas can also be used in the desktop application RouteBuddy.
Solo
Atlas is the basis of RouteBuddy Solo apps available on the iTunes store which enable simple “download and go” of the application with built-in Ordnance Survey maps, negating the need to transfer maps from your computer to the application.
Please note that the built-in maps in our Solo apps cannot be used with RouteBuddy Atlas for iOS or RouteBuddy for Mac or Windows
