cycling map shows NCN routes

Folowing this thread (Ordnance survey paid app for iPhone), I thought I'd mention the RMaps (free) app for Android which has various types of map including Ordnance Survey and something called "cycling map" which I have on the phone, but haven't investigated properly yet.

Thanks for this. Just trying it out now. It looks excellent at first glance.
