I followed through your profile, and the hiking app looks very good. Great job!

How do you get 'outdoor maps' into the App, ie do you license them or are they available freely somewhere?

We pay for use of some map servers, and use free servers. If you have GIS server skills and soe capital, you can tile and serve the maps yourself... Lots of good free data out there.
