  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.

  6. 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. 👍🏼

  11. 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 it’s something in settings. Thanks again!

  16. 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routinely update apps so I'm not sure what's gone on, but if the #OSMaps app map view looks like the first image, it's out of date.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

  24. 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.

  30. My current hobby project is a watch/iPhone app to create a private journal of your travels by logging your location in the background. Today I added Ordnance Survey maps as an alternative to Apple Maps, and was surprised at how easy it was — a few hours work at most. #watchos #swiftui #OSMaps

  35. 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.
