Ordnance Survey Explorer Active Maps are laminated maps and are an encapsulated product that is tough, durable and weatherproof. Ordnance Survey Explorer Active maps cover very part of England, Scotland and Wales – however remote. There are 403 maps in the series.
Many outdoor enthusiasts use non-permanent marker pens in dry conditions and permanent marker pens in wet conditions (we recommend Staedtler Lumocolor permanent markers). If using a permanent marker, which won’t wash off in the rain, then use methylated spirits to clean the map after use.
Features of Ordnance Survey Explorer Active maps include:
- 1:25 000 scale (4 cm to 1 km or 2½ inches to 1 mile)
- Laminated map
- Camping and caravan sites
- Picnic areas and viewpoints
- Selected places of interest
- Rights of way information for England and Wales
