OS Explorer maps on multimap.com
January 21st, 2009
Readers of this blog might feel that we talk rather a lot about the different map styles that we offer on multimap.com.
For many people, the simple style of maps that sites such as multimap.com offer work best for them, particularly when driving.
We are also frequently reminded by you however, that there are many other purposes for a using a map, rather than just driving. Anyone who loves things such as walking, cycling, climbing, camping, surfing and fishing in the UK, will know that nothing beats an Ordnance Survey map.
Multimap.com has offered the popular 1:50k Landranger maps as an alternative map style for some time, and I’m really pleased to announce the addition of the popular 1:25k Explorer maps on Multimap.com that add even more detail, depth and accuracy.
Some users also mentioned they had trouble finding OS maps on Multimap.com, so we’ve added a new ‘OS map’ button right between the existing map and aerial buttons, so that you can easily switch on OS maps when they are available.
You can even embed OS maps into your own blog or website, using our embedded maps feature. Simply find the map you want to embed, click the link button, accept the T&C’s and you can then simply copy and paste the HTML code into your page.
And finally, OS Explorer maps have also been added to the Multimap API.
Enjoy!
