  1. In anticipation of apple maps starting ads, I am going to give OSMAnd maps a try. Directions, searching, transit..let’s 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, let’s give it a whirl.

  2. 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:
    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. 👍🏼

  3. Perhaps not a widespread issue but do I know of others affected: The Ordnance Survey maps app has been misbehaving for eons, taking an age to render even offline maps. My subscription renewing reminded me to complain and in troubleshooting I deleted and reinstalled the app. And it's now appears to be completely new app that seems to work just fine. I routinely update apps so I'm not sure what's gone on, but if the #OSMaps app map view looks like the first image, it's out of date. #MapGeek

  4. In the afternoon of the first full day in #BannauBrycheiniog, we travelled to #Crickhowell or #Crughywel to climb #TableMountain, which is also the location of an #IronAge #fort. So, equipped with my #OrdnanceSurveyMap we made steady progress up the slopes, on #roads and then #footpaths, often across #farmland. The total walk was 12.5 km.

    Approaching the summit, you can see that the area is covered with #ferns.
