★ Detailed street-level mapping of England, Scotland and Wales using Ordnance Survey® data. ★ 1:250,000 road maps built in to the app. ★ Detailed 1:25,000 and 1:10,000 maps downloaded and stored for off-line use. ★ Contour lines and hill shading. ★ Footpaths from OpenStreetMap.org. ★ Off-line street name and postcode search. ★ Works on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
Since April 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 free of charge in 5km by 5km tiles.
In comparison with other map apps, this app shows much more detail of individual buildings at the street level.
Note that Ordnance Survey have not released any of their Landranger® or Explorer® map data as part of this programme, so those maps are not included in the app. However the app's 1:25k maps are suitable for countryside use; they are comparable to Landranger, since they don't show field boundaries and a few other details. They do show water features and woodland, contour lines and hill shading, and now also footpaths.
Note that because the footpaths are derived from volunteer-collected data from OpenStreetMap.org, the coverage is not yet as complete as the other map data.
The app also includes a searchable gazetteer containing over 250,000 place names nationwide. Each street map tile that you download is accompanied by its own street name index, with over 800,000 street names in total. You can also search for postcodes and road numbers. This search also works when there is no network connection.
The app also supports the compass (iPhone 3GS, 4, and iPad only) and GPS (iPhone and some iPads only), and can display your position and altitude.
UK Map is compatible with the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.
