Why OS Maps is your ultimate outdoor guide:
EXPLORE HIKES, RUNS, WALKS OR RIDES
We get it - your sofa is comfy, binging is fun, & the algorithm knows you a little too well. But trust us, there’s better views outside. OS Maps is here to nudge you to get your shoes on & discover just how wild (& mildly hilly) the outdoors can be. With GPS in hand, experience outdoor adventures with trusted mapping & navigation tools from the experts at Ordnance Survey. Create your own routes or enjoy ours; planned out by outdoor experts & organisations such as Trail, Country Walking, Mountain Bike UK, BBC Countryfile & more.
RUN, WALK, CYCLE, REPEAT
Whether you’re a slow stroller, a trail-chasing runner or someone who thinks bikes are just fast legs - OS Maps is your fitness & health app. Plan your days outside with our easy-to-use route plotting tools. Snap to path, save it, share it, tweak it, rewalk it - whatever gets you moving. From a lunchtime walk to a weekend expedition with friends, you’ll have all the tools to get outdoors (& brag about it later).
P.S. We double as a walking tracker, running tracker, cycle tracker & even your unofficial hype person.
ICONIC OS MAPPING
Want all the details? Subscribe to unlock the iconic OS Explorer (1:25,000) & OS Landranger (1:50,000) maps. They’re the gold standard in “not getting lost,” & yes, they're in the app. Plus, global & topographic mapping for the USA, Australia, New Zealand - because why stop at your postcode?
CREATE YOUR OWN ADVENTURES
Best in class route planning & navigation tools mean you can get off the beaten track & explore with freedom. Whether you need a running route planner, walking app or outdoor cycle guide, OS Maps has you covered. You can even turn your hike/run/ride into a masterpiece by saving it to your activity log. That means you get to relive your glory or just prove to your mates that you did actually make it up that hill.
OFFLINE MAPS? ABSOLUTELY
No signal? No stress. Feel at ease knowing you can use our biking, running, walking app freely without signal. Download your route ahead of time & roam with confidence. OS Maps keeps working in the most off-grid, WiFi-free corners of the UK. You can even export routes to your GPS device, just in case.
UNLIMITED PRINTING
Old school is still cool. Print your maps & routes if you fancy something you can fold, scribble on or accidentally sit on during lunch.
USE ON EVERY DEVICE
Start planning on your laptop, check your route on your phone & record your ramble on your Apple Watch. OS Maps syncs across all your tech. Premium members even get fancy extras like 3D mapping, aerial layers & route fly-throughs to preview the terrain.

YOUR FEEDBACK = OUR FUEL
We’re always updating the app to add new features & squash the occasional bug. Got a suggestion or just a really good hiking pun? Leave a review or head to os.uk/contact.
*Some AR features need a newer device (iPhone 6s, iPhone SE, iPad 2017, iPad Pro or later). Basically, if your phone isn't vintage, you're good.
The OS maps app is a fine way to access all the iconic topographical maps from the beloved UK institution ‘ordinance survey’ One can create simple routes to be accessed offline during treks. I think it is excellent as is and look forward to future feature additions.

Warum muss man die User…

immer gleich belatschern, wenn jemand die App installiert hat?! 🤬We can't wait to inspire your next adventure.Nein! Ich melde mich schon, wenn ich nicht zurechtkomme!!!
Quite good for general directions (free version)

But you have to purchase premium at least 48hrs ahead of your adventures if you want to use additional features. Purchases do not immediately sync with your account (neither web nor app), the fees however are charged immediately. In my case, I have trialled the premium version twice: last month and three years ago and in both cases I was left with three days of a five day trial period. Would be very customer friendly to advice of syncing times of premium purchases and maybe also extend the trial period to a week if you cannot guarantee immediate usage of a paid premium service.
Code not valid??
Amy in Photoland
Some years ago I bought the OL28 map, which includes a mobile download version. Today I scratched the code free but the app tells me the code is not valid?? Checked it twice. How can I access the map on my iPhone?
