Lake District Maps Offline

Featured in Ordnance Survey's OS OpenData innovative application showcase.

Beautifully detailed maps supplied by Ordnance Survey.

Lake District Maps provides a useful offline (no mobile signal required) mapping reference and navigation aid whilst travelling throughout the Lake District by footpath, road, rail, canal, lake and river.  Intuitive route and waypoint management features are implemented enabling creation, modification, deletion, import and export of routes. A powerful offline search facility can locate places, roads, post codes and hills within the region.   Worldwide online Apple Maps (Standard, Satellite and Hybrid) with map features that users are used to are available on both offline and online maps as well as providing 3D buildings on Apple maps (where available).

Maps

7 different levels of offline 2014/2015 Ordnance Survey map detail from national overview to street view within the region. (No data connection required).
Progressively more detailed maps are automatically loaded as the map view is zoomed. The OS recommended viewing scales for the more detailed maps are approximately as follows:

1:1000,000 (The whole of GB is covered at this map scale)

1:50,000
