I am a walk leader  with a Ramblers affiliated group. earlier this year Ordinance Survey changed how you record a walk. Now you have to save the walk as an activity and then save it to your 'walks'. Coincidently, I think, my OS app has started putting higher mileages for my walks - typically 9 miles for an 8 mile one. I have another app to prove this plus other people's recordings etc..I have complained to OS and got nowhere! Does any one have a phone number or email to speak to anybody there who might help?

I used some webform or other and got a reply from customerservices@os.uk. The bug I mentioned to them was already known and was eventually fixed  

They don’t seem especially interested in users and it’s only laziness that stops me moving to Memory Map.

I agree. The Android version is full of bugs and usability failings that have been there for several years. I've tried reporting them but only ever get a boilerplate response. I still use the app though, probably for the same reason that you mentioned.

Just vote with your feet and use another package.

Memory Map is stable on my iPhone, but I never track, record gpx or share.

Recently gps position fixes have intermittently been significantly and obviously wrong by a couple of hundred meters……………and would not refine even if given several minutes to update; anyone would think there is a war on!
