* Unlimited free map downloads based on Ordnance Survey® OpenData, at 1:25,000 and 1:10,000 scales, and now also paid map downloads at 1:50,000, 1:25,000 and 1:10,000 scales, just like the paper maps. * 3D mode ideal for mountains. * Maps downloaded and saved for off-line use. * Mark waypoints, plan routes and record tracks. * Import and export GPX files. * Plot graphs of altitude and speed. * View your photos on the map. * Off-line place, street name and postcode search. After installing the app, please touch the '?' button to view instructions including how to download detailed maps. Northern Ireland is not included. The Isle of Man is included only at 1:250,000 (free) and 1:50,000 (paid). The Channel Islands are not included. Since 2010, Britain's national mapping agency Ordnance Survey has released a large amount of free map data. UK Map makes much of that data available in a single app. It includes 1:1M MiniScale® and 1:250k road maps, which are built into the app, and 1:25k district maps and 1:10k street maps for the entire country which you can download in 5km by 5km tiles. As the free O.S. data does not include footpaths, this app superimposes footpaths derived from volunteer-collected data from OpenStreetMap.org. These downloads are free of charge. In addition to the free maps, you can also purchase and download 1:50,000 and 1:25,000 maps that are just like the Ordnance Survey paper maps. You can also purchase 1:10,000 maps for selected urban areas which show more detail than the free 1:10,000 maps. Once you've downloaded the detailed maps that you need, an internet connection is not required. The app can load GPX files (for example, from websites, other apps and from nearby devices via AirDrop) and display waypoints, tracks and routes. You can also mark waypoints, plan routes and record tracks within the app, and export them. You can view graphs of altitude or speed along recorded tracks and routes. The app has a 3D mode that lets you view the terrain from any viewpoint, useful for visualising hills and mountains. The app also includes a searchable gazetteer containing over 250,000 place names, 850,000 street names and 1.6 million post codes. All of this data is built in to the app, so this search also works when there is no network connection. The app also supports the compass and GPS - on those devices that have them - to display your position, orientation and altitude. Paid maps are licensed for personal and non-commercial use only.

It's really good ...value, features, usability, reliability

I'm sold on this app. It used to be really good with great value access to maps at several levels of scale. Then they added a ton of route features. It took me a while to get my head around them but the support for this app is also exceptionally good. The route planning and recording does more things than I've had a chance to try out yet but all the basic things [plan a route then record a days cycling] I've done work well. I'm not loyal or anything. I recently looked to see if the competition from OS maps (or others) had anything to offer. Some of what OS maps is supposed to offer sounds really cool but if you read the reviews and look at the features and implementation.... I can't see why anyone would bother. I just think that when a small company gets so much right and continues to work to get better, it deserves to be acknowledged.

Best £8 I have spent on an app

After initial layout (£7.99) for this app, I was expecting to pay for each detailed OS map I might want in addition. As it turned out, there are free maps available and the 1:10,000 version is perfect if you are looking to find places to walk anywhere in UK. Bridleways, footpaths etc are all well detailed on the free maps. After living in my area for 20+ years we’ve found places to walk that we would never have otherwise found. Not sure what the paid maps offer in addition yet but I may download one just to check what else is included. Not sure what they actually cost as the prices don’t seem apparent. All in all - a fantastic for wannabe walkers & local explorers. Note: A trip to Scotland proved the path and bridle-way details are not complete or not detailed as I have experienced in England and Wales.

Outstanding app

I’ve used UK Map extensively for a year and a half or so, and can honestly say it’s paid for itself many times over. Having tried a variety of outdoor navigation apps, it’s by far my favourite; mainly thanks to the very clear user interface. Every time I use other apps (outside the UK) I get annoyed about useless features, maps take forever to download even on fast internet, clunky interface, etc.Nitpicking: unfortunately the app has a tendency to crash/ cause my phone to switch off when a recorded walk or run exceeds 25km or so, but the files have always been recovered reliably.A huge thanks to the developer who has created the clearest, most user friendly outdoor navigation app I’ve ever used.

Almost perfect

I recently reloaded this app after a few years and was really pleased to see that the classic (and unbeatable) paid OS maps can now be purchased at good value without an annoying subscription. This along with the ability to adjust settings and get the best combinations of free OS Vector (I.e. visible contour shading) and StreetView information (i.e. local footpaths) in the same place, all available off-line, makes this a powerful and hard to beat app. If I could wish for one or two things... I would prefer to use paper map digital downloads on this app (rather than OS maps), and an ability to overlay cycle maps would be helpful. But otherwise, this is very very good!

This version updates the built-in 1:250,000 and 1:1,000,000 maps to the latest versions from Ordnance Survey. It also fixes bugs, including a longstanding issue that sometimes caused various parts of the app to appear blank.
