After installing the app, please touch the '?' button to view instructions including how to download detailed maps. Northern Ireland is not included. The Isle of Man is included only at 1:250,000 (free) and 1:50,000 (paid). The Channel Islands are not included. Since 2010, Britain's national mapping agency Ordnance Survey has released a large amount of free map data. UK Map makes much of that data available in a single app. It includes 1:1M MiniScale® and 1:250k road maps, which are built into the app, and 1:25k district maps and 1:10k street maps for the entire country which you can download in 5km by 5km tiles. As the free O.S. data does not include footpaths, this app superimposes footpaths derived from volunteer-collected data from OpenStreetMap.org. These downloads are free of charge. In addition to the free maps, you can also purchase and download 1:50,000 and 1:25,000 maps that are just like the Ordnance Survey paper maps. You can also purchase 1:10,000 maps for selected urban areas which show more detail than the free 1:10,000 maps. Once you've downloaded the detailed maps that you need, an internet connection is not required. The app can load GPX files (for example, from websites, other apps and from nearby devices via AirDrop) and display waypoints, tracks and routes. You can also mark waypoints, plan routes and record tracks within the app, and export them. You can view graphs of altitude or speed along recorded tracks and routes. The app has a 3D mode that lets you view the terrain from any viewpoint, useful for visualising hills and mountains. The app also includes a searchable gazetteer containing over 250,000 place names, 850,000 street names and 1.6 million post codes. All of this data is built in to the app, so this search also works when there is no network connection. The app also supports the compass and GPS - on those devices that have them - to display your position, orientation and altitude. Paid maps are licensed for personal and non-commercial use only.

This app gives 100% offline topographic map coverage of Great Britain installed directly with the app. No further downloads required, no account signups, no ongoing subscriptions, just seamless pan and zoom across the whole country at an effective resolution of about 1:25k. Perfect for outdoor use, walking, running, hunting, fishing, cycling, particularly in remote areas with poor cellphone coverage. Please note that this is a large app (4GB) and you will need to have sufficient space to install it. GBTopoMap includes full navigation functions including route planning, track recording, navigation to points or following routes, over 300,000 built in locations and landmarks. Directly import or share files from any source or channel of your choice. Maps are based on Ordnance Surveys VectorMap District and terrain data that gives 10 m contour intervals, combined with OpenStreetMap data on public access ways. The maps are fully installed on your device when you download and install the app from the App Store. Maps will update periodically after that using standard app version updates through the App Store. Works well with popular British sites describing local walks and activities. Click on .gpx or .kml track links to import directly into the app. The app is build from the ground up to use the true British National Grid, not the commonly used WGS84 global approximation which doesn't give a true uniform grid. We also design from the ground up for functionality. Controls are at the bottom of the screen where you can operate them one handed without shifting your grip, and information is biased towards the top of the screen. All functionality can be accessed with a single tap from the main screen, so that there are no nested layers of menus that you have to navigate or memorise to find what you are after. The app is completely stand-alone and doesn't require account logins or requests for contact information, feedback, or ratings. We are delighted to hear from anyone with a question or suggestion, and you can check out some of our online info and guides, but you won't hear from us otherwise. Please note that, as with any GPS navigational app, use of GPS positioning will place a higher demand on your battery and continuous use of GPS will discharge the battery at a faster rate. The GBTopoMap app gives you full control over this. GPS positioning is only activated when actually needed and can be switched on or off at the tap of a button. Tip of the day: For navigating using the compass functions, look up how to do the 'figure of 8' wave to trigger internal calibration of the compass. Easy to do and makes for reliable and accurate compass readings.
