Enhance your outdoor adventures with OS Locate. When used in conjunction with your Ordnance Survey map, OS Locate provides a quick and highly precise method of determining your exact location on the map, no matter where you are in Great Britain. Whether you've lost your way or simply seek reassurance, OS Locate is the perfect companion for all outdoor enthusiasts.

The app converts GPS location data from your mobile phone into Ordnance Survey National Grid references, allowing you to accurately pinpoint your position on an Ordnance Survey map. No mobile signal? Not a problem. OS Locate operates independently of mobile signals, relying solely on its built-in GPS system, even in remote areas.

Simply download the app and activate your device's location services (Settings - Privacy - Location Services).

OS Locate offers a range of additional features. The "Share" button enables you to connect with friends and family through messaging and social media, keeping them informed of your whereabouts, progress, and estimated return time. Utilize the convenient digital compass to ensure you're always headed in the right direction. For those eager to expand their knowledge of maps and navigation, the "About" section provides a wealth of information including tips, hints, and a guide to map reading. It also includes simple yet comprehensive explanations of how to utilize eastings and northings.

OS Locate - never lose track of where you are.

OS Locate serves as a supplementary tool for Ordnance Survey paper maps. When exploring the great outdoors, it is always advisable to have an Ordnance Survey paper map and baseplate compass at hand.

Continuously running GPS in the background can significantly drain battery life.

Ensure that your Location Services are enabled.

OS Locate has been updated to provide even greater peace of mind by offering accurate altitude information sourced directly from the GPS signal, guaranteeing its availability at all times.

In addition, the latest version 1.1 of OS Locate automatically detects your location outside of Great Britain and converts Ordnance Survey's Northing and Easting coordinates into internationally recognized Latitude and Longitude readings that can be used anywhere in the world.

Lastly, Ordnance Survey has partnered with Silva Compasses to enhance the virtual compass feature, employing Silva's trademarked design for improved usability.
