## What is Brecon Beacons Maps Offline?

From the producers of GB Maps (featured in Ordnance Survey's OS OpenData innovative application showcase)

Beautifully detailed maps supplied by OS.

Brecon Beacons Maps provides a useful offline (no mobile signal required) mapping reference and navigation aid whilst travelling throughout the Brecon Beacons by footpath, road, rail, canal, lake and river.  Intuitive route and waypoint management features are implemented enabling creation, modification, deletion, import and export of routes. A powerful offline search facility can locate places, roads, post codes and hills within the region.  Worldwide online Apple Maps (Standard, Satellite and Hybrid) with map features that users are used to are available on both offline and online maps as well as providing 3D buildings on Apple maps (where available).

Maps

7 different levels of offline 2014/2015 Ordnance Survey map detail from national overview to street view within the region. (No data connection required)
Progressively more detailed maps are automatically loaded as the map view is zoomed. The OS recommended viewing scales for the more detailed maps are approximately as follows:

1:1000,000  (The whole of GB is covered at this map scale) 
1:250,000
1:50,000
1:25,000
1:10,000 ( (Roads/streets are labelled by name))

### 5/5 — Great app spot on

*2021-08-31*

The routes on this map app are very accurate, It’s given me loads of confidence to plan my walks in advance. I’ve planned 3 routes since I’ve had it and it’s been spot on 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

### 1/5 — Won’t download

*2018-12-28*

I’ve paid for this app but when it gets to about 70% it stops and won’t complete

**Developer response:** Please try “killing” all running apps and repeat the install attempt. Alternatively please try a “hard reset”.

### 5/5 — Outstanding

*2017-06-30*

This Application is seriously awesome. Various levels of zoom, compass, ability to plan your own route & more. A must for anyone visiting the Brecon Beacons.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the positive feedback.  Its always pleasing to hear from happy customers.

### 5/5 — Excellent map for hiking in the Brecon Beacons

*2017-06-06*

I purchased the set of three maps of the national parks in Wales (Snowdonia, Brecon Beacons and Pembrokeshire Coast) while still in the USA. When I downloaded the Snowdonia app I had some weird problems. I contacted the folks at Jomo and they responded pretty quickly.

I was unable to test them with my Bluetooth GPS (Bad Elf) so hoped for the best until we arrived in Wales to do some hiking. 

All three apps worked flawlessly with the GPS receiver. When we were close to one of the parks I could locate exactly where we were (sounds obvious but not everything goes as planned...)

We found some hikes that we wanted to do and I compared the details online with the map apps to double-check the route. The apps showed almost all routes that we were thinking of taking.

When hiking the apps worked very well. When we return for our next trip we'll be buying more maps from Jomo. Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Lovely jublly

*2017-03-30*

Love this app. I've now got every app in the full set of National Park series. Well done. I recommend.

### 5/5 — Great map

*2017-03-17*

For walking off routes or across the beacons this is a really useful map. Like the way points too

**Developer response:** Thanks for the positive feedback.  We're pleased to read you like the new routing functionality.

### 5/5 — Great App from great collection

*2016-10-01*

The map detail combined with GPS and the excellent new route planning functionality (including gpx import/export) make this app a very useful aid to a traditional map and compass. 5* 👍👍👍👍👍

### 5/5 — Great Ordnance Survey maps

*2016-09-28*

These are the best detailed maps out there. As you zoom in the detail increases right the way down to 1:10k.  The route creation is simple and intuitive (unlike other apps I've tried) and the comprehensive search and hill details is amazing too with every detail of every hill covered (I've not found a hill that's not included).

### 5/5 — Highly recommened

*2015-10-23*

This is a good app that actually does what it says! Thank you
