Does anyone have a good online or other source for os style maps which show foot paths / bridleways like the explorer range 1:25 000 scale? Suitible scale for walking and moutain biking.

I usually just buy a explorer map for the area I want but if I just want to plan a route or research a new area buy a map is a bit expensive and I find the o/s site a bitch to use.

I am asking as I am planning on going to Scotland this summer and will be traveling round a bit but want to do some research and buying several maps for several areas is expensive.

So any online / electronic map ideas?

We used to use Stamfords in Longacre. They had *everything. Not been there for ages.*

tommy,

yeah stamfords is good... but costly.
You can get a quote though if you mail them (digital@stanfords.co.uk) with a google map with the area you want and at what scale and they can send you a JPEG, dxf, pdf etc. i think the price varies for format ie jpeg is cheaper.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
