Due to cartographers restrictions/copyrights there are only a few companies that have the platform and technology that can securely distribute original maps in digital format via download. However those that do, like Anquet and emapsite, often provide free software that manages the maps but also helps route planning, map printing and programming of GPS/PND devices with those routes and maps you downloaded.Ordnance Survey
