Re: Ordnance survey app
alpine quest - about £7 iirc- will allow you to use ,data and wifi free, the old style memory map OS maps

Re: Hydralight - power from salt water.
me neither nor any sort of explanation of power or how many cycles you can get from it
yes you can wait 25 years but how many times can you dip it in water and it works?
does it need to be fresh or sat water?
