USEFUL INFORMATION
Battery life while using the app can be extended downloading maps offline prior to use, operating in Flight Mode (the GPS will still work) & turning off the screen when not in use. We release updates to all of our apps on an ongoing basis to improve stability & add extra features. Topographic mapping is available for UK (including Northern Ireland), USA, Australia & New Zealand. Your feedback & comments about this app are important to us. Leave a review or use os.uk/contact to get in touch.
*This feature uses Apple's ARKit which requires an iPhone 6s, iPhone SE, iPad 2017, iPad Pro or any later device.
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.
Very 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.
No Pricing Information
I was willing to buy maps, since it makes sense to buy stuff you want to use. These maps must be extraordinary expensive since the company makes every effort to conceal the prices. There is no pricing information available anywhere.
No recommendation!!
Tries two Premium Trials available only because I paid premium, both not up to date and led us in dead ends. The app feels like year 2000, compass not working and downloaded trails have not been available. This app does not work if you do not have internet!!!
Needs work to be done.
Works alright but only that. By far not as good and convenient as the Mapfinder app. Accuracy and detail of the maps are poorer. Only works with an image of a map. If you get closer, resolution gets poorer. Current location dot does not show direction of heading. I wished OS still suported Mapfinder rather than Maps. Wrong decision.
