Encountered this site today en-gb.topographic-map.com Might be of some interest  (Actually mentioned once before, by @Cerrertonia in March 21, but it's not on the sidebar.) Found as I'd read @Yorkshire Pie's blog and wondered what altitude Clermont Ferrand was at. |

Not sure whether this is the best thread, but here goes ... I have two maps to give away: Bodensee West and Bodensee Ost, published by Kümmerly+Frey on waterproof paper at a scale of 1:35,000. Ideal for hiking or cycling. The Bodensee may be better know to English-speaking readers as Lake Constance! Free to a good home. I'll pay second-class UK postage. |

New to this thread. Dvorak wrote: Encountered this site today en-gb.topographic-map.com Might be of some interest ... This is really neat. And not just UK only. Particularly like the way the colour shading is relative, so intervals change according to max relief on any given viewport. Checked out my old childhood haunts on the Cromer ridge in north Norfolk. Pleased to see lots of red high ground at only 100m.

You can get red high ground at 25m around Holme Fen. And my house at 225m above sea level can be shown as blue if I select the right window on the map. I have a plastic 3-d topographic relief map of the Yorkshire Dales on my wall - really very good for visualising the landscape and how the hills and roads and rivers fit together. |

Hello fellow map lovers! I'm going to be visiting the England, Scotland and the Isle of Man this coming summer. I am completely behind the times with maps in the UK. Is it still 1:25k and 1:50k OS maps, plus harveys 1:25k and 1:40k in some regions? Is there an online map service these days? I NZ the mapping has only been done at 1:50k and although we still have the odd paper map, mostly we use a mix of topomap.co.nz for planning and printing maps, and the OSMAND~ app (using open street map) on our phones. PS. might be worth adding these to your bookmarks if you plan to visit NZ: topomap.co.nz https://basemaps.linz.govt.nz/@-39.3095308,175.5704927,z13.63,b28.8,p72?style=topographic&i=topographic&terrain=LINZ-Terrain&labels=true |
