New Ordnance Survey Mapping

As a solution, we looked at having our Ordnance Survey route maps hosted within OS itself and linking directly across to their website. This system frees up server space for us and also mean less back office work in maintaining the maps, as well as sending cyclists to the world class mapping systems available to help them from OS itself. After all, Ordnance Survey have helped us for many years, so why not send thousands of our readers regularly to the OS website.

Better still, by using their new mapping products for our routes, our readers are also given ‘fly through’ options and also the ability to link their current location to each route map when used. More layers are avalaible too, including satellite imagery layers.

The new mapping is being implemented by us during July this year, and so you’ll start to see this on many of our route pages as the work progresses. You can also join Ordnance Survey with a mapping subscription, giving yourself even more options from our routes, inlcluding the fly through, liesure series maps and satellite imagery.

We’re really excited that we’ve managed to turn the changes to Open Space mapping into an opportunity to offer our readers even better mapping for the future. And, we’re pleased to be able to support the Ordnance Survey even more, as the worlds greatest mapping agency heads into the future by helping cyclists, walkers and mountaineers in the U.K. with the very best mapping products.
