Is it worth a post on a walking forum to see what they use. Cycling use it's basically Garmin or Wahoo.

Stable door and bolted horses.

I've been getting to grips with Komoot and finding it useful.
Certainly less expensive, does my sort of cycling and runs on the phone.

Performed well recently in France, Belgium and Germany too.

@ETAF once you've gained some experience could you report back on using OS mapping. I presume you intend to use this for route planning and navigation?

For a self guided walking holiday I used ride with gps turn by turn on my phone and it worked very well. It gave spoken directions. That’s a premium feature. The company we booked it through provided the RWGPS turn by turn stuff to download onto phone.
