In anticipation of apple maps starting ads, I am going to give OSMAnd maps a try. Directions, searching, transit..letβs see how it does.
It is, if anything, too much info. It has individual park benches. You may call that good, but it makes the map so busy. Also no street view, but I can fall back to Apple maps if needs must.
Still, letβs give it a whirl.

For all interested in or studying the more recent past ...
Post-war OS maps as single sheets, overlay, or side-by-side for the period 1944-1973 are now available from the National Library of Scotland website:
https://maps.nls.uk/os/national-grid/
A great deal of information on post-war rebuilding and expansion can now be seen for free, as detailed as 1:1250.
A wonderful site just got even better. Well done to all involved. ππΌ
One for UK #walking fedifolk..
Is anyone using the OSMaps App having trouble with it saving activity? The last two routes I walked did not save, despite me recording them, nor was there a prompt to save after I hit finish. Many thanks.
Edit: is anyone using it and not having problems? Wondering if itβs something in settings. Thanks again!
To commemorate the amazing work that everyone does in Mountain Rescue England and Wales, Ordnance Survey has created this data visualisation using call-out data from 2019-2023, showing the most common areas that Mountain Rescue attend to.
Thank you to all team members who are on call 24 hours a day 365 days a year.
I was thinking about which Ordnance Survey map was my favourite just now. Really tricky as it does change but this year at least, it's 44. A lot of good days out in that square. Long weekend coming up (local holiday on Monday) so hoping the weather is nice, though the plan is to maybe head into 37. Forecast looking OK so far.
