Description

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.

RECOMMENDED BY EXPERTS
Ordnance Survey is a proud partner of Mountain Rescue England & Wales. Our app doesn’t just look good, it’s recommended by experts to keep you safe & on track when outside.

Good as a mapping tool but activity recording, particularly speed, is suspect. On a couple of occasions my speed has been wildly overestimated.

Wouldn’t be without OS Maps app

Essential like breathing. Helps me be independent in the wilderness or in my local area and feeling safe and confident. The app is incredible value for money.

Fab, but..

Fab, but annoying when it auto-pauses when you’re recording a walk, effectively stopping recording. If it then auto ends, recorded time goes awry. Not sure why it auto pauses - there could be a setting I haven’t found.

Great app but distance record seems a bit iffy

I love this app. It is fantastic for planning walks and finding routes wherever you are. I just have one complaint - I don’t understand why I can go for a walk with my niece and the app records a different distance on my phone than it does on hers even though we’ve done exactly the same walk.

Great when it works

I have had problems with logging in for the last 2 months and trying to get help has been impossible, when you think you have a one to one you get the auto response reply, . It worked well For a fe months now it’s totally unusable and no luck with help I’m currently writing this review while on hold to a help line, the clock so far is at 15 minutes Forget this app there are better ones.
