When OA bought VR they inherit that customer commitment. Anything less is a rip off and an attempt to coerce into an unwanted subscription model more akin to some sleazy double glazing sales ploy. They are very simply demanding that we pay every year for something we already bought outright. If there was an American style class-action to be slapped on VR/OA I’d be joining it but I’ll just probably have to vote with my feet and go ANYWHERE but to O/A and hope many many others do the same. The sense it makes is it offers the opportunity for VR/OA to force every VR customer who bought a map to start forking out money every year if they want offline access to the maps they previously bought outright. Morally reprehensible and (in my view) legally dubious, but a nice little earner for VR/OA! Much better for them than having to compete outright in the subscription mapping world with their competition. They ain’t getting a penny of me and I hope many many others do the same. If they had simply allowed us to keep what we have already bought then I would have no doubt got sucked in to buying future subscription products from them at some point so it’s their loss. I can understand that maintaining the apps etc might not work long term under the VR one-off purchase model so we are looking at a subscription based future.

RouteBuddy is a GPS enabled Mapping Application for Mac OS X. If that’s the case I’m not going to use somebody who has ripped me off then tried weasely tactics to con me in to staying with them. Connect your USB Garmin to your Mac and synchronize Waypoints, Routes and Tracks with ease.

RouteBuddy also works with NMEA GPS receivers to show position and additional data on a RouteBuddy Map. Life couldn't be simpler with RouteBuddy.

Many will take the free subscription then leave, but personally, it’s not just about the money, it’s about how they’ve treated us as loyal customers. I would hope many of you will do the same.
