Ordnance Survey Maps – How to discover routes to walk and hike – Part 1
I have been using both the Ordnance Survey Maps and Ordnance Survey Online App for a while now to manage any walk, hike or bike adventure.
The digital platforms provided by Ordnance Survey Maps, online and mobile, are a much welcomed addition to their already established and vast array of hardcopy paper maps which I’ve been enjoying for many years.
In this video, I help you uncover the basic interface of the Online App and how to Discover Routes that have been created by others.
In Part 2, I will dive deeper into How to Create Custom Routes.
