OS Locate: Your Perfect Companion for Outdoor Adventures
OS Locate is a free travel and navigation app developed by Ordnance Survey for iPhone users. This app is designed to enhance your outdoor adventures by providing a fast and highly accurate means of pinpointing your exact location on an Ordnance Survey map, anywhere in Great Britain.
With OS Locate, you can convert GPS location readings from your mobile phone to Ordnance Survey National Grid references, allowing you to determine precisely where you are on a map. Even in remote areas with no mobile signal, OS Locate relies on the inbuilt GPS system of your device, ensuring you can always find your way.
In addition to its core functionality, OS Locate offers a range of handy features. The 'Share' button enables you to connect with friends and family via messaging and social media, keeping them updated on your adventure's progress and estimated time of return. The app also includes a digital compass for easy orientation and a wealth of information on maps and navigation in its 'About' section.
Please note that OS Locate is intended to be used alongside Ordnance Survey paper maps and a baseplate compass for a comprehensive outdoor navigation experience.
