_Phone apps that display cycling specific information;_

OsmAnd (both android and Iphone) has a configuration for cyclists that 
brings to the fore cycling POIs - bicycle shops, water sources. Also 
brings up cycling routes - making them easily seen. Less well displayed 
are cycling lanes etc.
Mapsone (?) (Iphone only) has a good topographical display. Not played 
with this myself.
