My two walks yesterday. A morning stroll on the #walescoastpath then an evening stroll to some iron age forts and up to Trichrug trig pillar on the #beaconsway #breconbeacons #osmaps #ordnancesurvey
Moody skies and very muddy boots on todayβs ramble π₯Ύaround Scout Moor and Cheesden Mills ruins. Nice pampering manicure π πΌ afterwards then off out later for a curry and a few gins πΈ. π pretty decent Saturday. #scoutmoor #cheesdenmill #rossendale #osmaps

Trig point 235 β οΈ Ghost pillar at Mansfield West Notts College. Replica? Training pillar for mining industry? Relocated? A mystery. Situated next to a training aircraft on the college grounds #allthetrigpoints #Mansfield #walking #mining #mystery #osmaps #history #trigpoint
Why bother? Why map read when we have gps and phone apps?
Because map reading is freedom. When thereβs no signal, low battery and no tourist path. #nationalmapreadingweek #getoutside #osmaps
F-35 heading south on the Mach loop. Nice to see paper maps still in use ;-) #photography #avgeek #raflakenheath #aviationphotography .RAF Lakenheath #osmaps
Teaching OS map symbols? Great fun activity idea. Ask students to imagine they own an island which they would love to live on. Get them to draw it but only using OS map symbols. They love this and it allows them to explore symbols in detail.

Patrick Collison Noah Smith ππΊπΈπΊπ¦ The OSMaps app (subscription required, UK only) doesnβt do too bad a job of this at some zoom levels. Even Apple Maps has more detail than Google Maps, which is very bare indeed.
I presented a short paper at #GIScience2023 in Leeds on Thursday, about using GPS route traces from users of the Ordnance Survey OSMaps app to generate active travel maps and identify unknown active travel pathways. You can read the paper here: drops.dagstuhl.de/opus/volltexteβ¦
Claire Slack English Heritage Just keyed in Thornborough into the OSMaps app and they caught Beltane actually happening! π€ #ThornboroughBeltane
Off for a walk this weekend? Don't forget your OS map. Don't get us wrong, we love our mobile phones, but reception isn't always great when you're up on the tops or in a distant fell. Better to be safe.

#SplodzDPC 22/2/2023 'As it Should Be'. A circle drawn on the map where I think I am and the OSMaps app confirming that I am indeed there.
