Simple and stylish covers from 1964 Ordnance Survey maps of Ancient Britain. Dun Carloway broch on the Isle of Lewis on the northern sheet, a Stonehenge trilithon the southern. Then the sites on the maps themselves, Stonehenge in a crowded part of Wiltshire #maps #ordnancesurvey @bodleian.ox.ac.uk

Any #OSMaps app users out there who know how to display preset ‘Places’ (like Munros & Wainwrights) on the *Mobile* version?
I can do it on the desktop version, but am totally stumped with the mobile app.

@jonpsp I get #what3words locations from my local wildlife group, but very rarely an #OrdnanceSurvey grid reference which I'd find far more useful.

The #OrdnanceSurvey #OSMaps app is really good.
But it could be so much better.
It needs a 'broken line' option for plotted routes.
Using the 'Snap-To' function, your route obscures the underlying details. Is it a Road? Footpath? Track?
The limited colour palette means it can resemble a main road!

That was 2 weeks ago! I got a stock "we're processing your thing" email ... and since that nothing.
How did I end up in a position where I paid money to be treated this badly ... having to beg for the things I already bought? Eh @OrdnanceSurvey ???

Of all the companies that would end up completely ripping me off I didn't expect it to be @OrdnanceSurvey.
Their old iPhone app was amazing and I bought about £80 worth of virtual maps to use on it. Then they discontinued it to introduce a monthly subscription service.
