“Accurate and dependable...we’re delighted”- Ordnance Survey
OS Open Maps is the new OS mapping and GPS app for Britain’s walkers, mountain runners, MTB enthusiasts and climbers. OS Landranger and Explorer maps can cost a lot to download- which is why this app uses a new range of quality OS mapping which the OS lets you download for free. So with this app, you can download as much mapping as you want at no added cost.
When you add in 5 other map types, which come bundled with this app at no extra cost- including Open Terrain with pathways and contours, Street Maps and Satellite View- this becomes an indispensable tool for navigation.
With the OS maps fully downloaded to your iPhone or iPad, the superb GPS and routing functions will help you get from A to B safely and OS Open Maps will work anywhere in Great Britain regardless of iPhone signal and find your location in seconds. You can find and download recommended walks and MTB routes for regions all over Great Britain as well as access the only free route building tool using 1:50k Landranger Maps; using this tool you can edit, create and share routes or download any of 75,000 British walks and bike rides to your iPhone.
OS Open Maps includes VectorMap District (1:25k) maps and VectorMap Local (1:10k) provided by the Ordnance Survey as part of the OpenData project. Download your chosen 1:25k and 1:10k OS Maps at no additional cost.
Open Terrain is another topo map part of this app- these maps includes British paths and tracks as well as hill contours so you can easily and safely prepare your route.
