| Map tools - changing how the map looks on screen |
|
All our maps have a set of tools that you can use to change how the map looks on your
screen. You will find these tools at the left hand side of every map. |
| |
 |
You can use the directional arrows to move around the map (for example, to look further
North), like following a compass. The middle button will take you back to your original view of the map. |
 |
You can use the zoom to move in closer (for example, to see just a few streets) or to
look further out (for example, to look at a whole village or town). |
| |
 |
There are three map sizes to choose from - small, medium and large. The map size
is how much of your screen it covers, so if it takes up too much room then you can choose
a smaller map size. |
| |
 |
You can also choose whether to see the map measured in miles or kilometres. |
| |
| Map options - choosing what the map shows you |
|
Each type of map on our site has its own set of options to choose from. The options are different
depending on which map you are looking at, but you will always find them at the right hand side of the
map. You can pick as many options as you like. Click in the box next to each one, then click
the 'Update map' button to look at your chosen options on the map. For example, on our
'Where's my nearest?' maps, you can choose which local facilities you want to find, and only your chosen
options will appear on the map. |

|
| Information - getting more details about what the map shows |
|
Sometimes extra information is available about the items that you see on a map. For example, our
'Roadworks' maps give you a brief description about what each set of roadworks are, including who is
working on the road and how long the work will last. You can see this extra information by clicking
on an item on the map. The extra information will always appear underneath the map - you may need
to scroll down the page a little to read all the details. |
| |
| Map keys - finding out what the symbols used on maps mean |
|
Each of our maps has its own set of symbols. You will find a key on the right hand side of each map
(below the map options) to tell you what these symbols mean. You will also see many Ordnance Survey
map symbols on our maps (the type of symbols which appear on standard printed maps). Please visit
our standard map icons page for an explanation
of these symbols. |
| |
| Print friendly version - printing your map out on standard paper |
 |
If you want to print out any of our maps, please use the 'Print friendly version' link at the top right
hand corner of each map. This option will allow you to print your map so that it fits neatly on
standard A4 printer paper. Please print large maps in landscape format for the best results. |

| System requirements |
Please note:
- Maps may take several seconds to download when viewed over a standard internet connection.
