Response from developer
As the official IGN (French public operator for geographic information) mobile app dedicated to outdoors activities we offer IGN maps for France (+ OpenStreetMaps worldwide). We do not offer OS maps (Ordnance Survey) presently. As far as the features and how to make the most out of the app, please feel free to reach out and we will be happy to provide you with any information or assistance : ignrando@ubicarta.com
