MAPS
In the UK, maps are predominantly produced by Ordnance Survey (OS) for general, walking, and road navigation, and Harvey Maps for specialized mountain navigation. Key types include 1:25,000 scale Explorer maps for hiking, 1:50,000 Landranger maps for cycling, and detailed 1:1250 MasterMap data for urban areas. These cover topographical, thematic, and digital (web) formats.
