Where's The Path
'Where's the Path allows users to compare the UK's Ordnance Survey maps alongside Google Maps or Open Street Map. The two maps are synchronised, so if you pan one map the other map pans to show the same view. The application is a very useful resource, particularly for hikers. The Ordnance Survey map has far greater detail than Google Maps about public footpaths and other off-road features. Google Maps on the other hand allows you to view satellite imagery alongside the OS map.'
ALERT 'Google have recently ended free use of their mapping services by medium volume websites. For now, WTP is running on limited daily quotas so may fail on you from time to time. As of July 2019 the OSM Landscape and Cycle maps have had to be removed for cost reasons - sorry.I am actively looking for ways to keep the site running. Since August 2021 OS have moved from a daily to monthly map quota. If the site does not work near the month end, talk to them. Thanks for all the support over the years. Bill Chadwick Aug 2021'
'The display of modern Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 mapping via OS OpenSpace still has a daily limit. So please remember that if you use OS mapping full screen on a big display, you may well cause someone else mapping disappointment later in the day. Now that WTP can show the increasingly good footpath coverage on Open Street Map and out of copyright OS 1:25,000 mapping, it should still be possible to plan routes etc. after the daily quota of modern OS mapping has been used up ...'
