OS mapping has disappearedFORUMS HOME SEARCH FORUMS

Hi Plotaroute.

I too thought that OS Maps had disappeared for Premium members until seeing Arnaud's post below. I'm relieved it's still here, because what makes Plotaroute my go-to hike-planning option is that the inbuilt OS Maps allow one to check PROW, which is hugely important near farmland on which, increasingly, footpaths are being tweaked and even blocked. 

Though it's now nice to see topography on the back of the OS Maps, the change could perhaps be clarified by:

     (a) relabelling the pull-down menu item as Topo/OS or Topo+OS, as the present Topo seems a bit loose; 
     (b) reflecting any such changes in (a) consistently in the sub-labels on the pop-up Map Type page;
     (c) ensuring that the name chosen from the pull-down menu matches what appears in the "selected" window at its head;
          eg when Topo is selected from the menu, Multi Topo appears at its head.

As things stand, the last place one would look for an OS map is under a "Topo" title ... as evidenced by my initially having thought that the OS option had been pulled ;-)

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback and for letting us know that the change has had a negative impact on how you use the OS map.

I'll share this information with Arnaud and the team.

I'll update this post as soon as they have looked into this.

Kind regards,
Julien

I too would like to see the OS map when zoomed out. I'm not seeing the latest format as an improvement personally.

It looks like only the OS 1:50k layer is available now.  Is this intentional?   (I'd still like to see 1:250k when zooming out for an overview). 

Thanks Arnaud.

Hi Garry,

You can now use 'Topo Maps' that include OS Maps as well as other topographic maps.

We'll make an announcement about this improvement.

Regards

I'm a premium member and no longer have OS as an option. I can't find any mention of a reason in the forums.

Has Ordanace Survey mapping been dropped from Plotaroute?
