Map Information

Some maps in the menu have icons by them.

This map is going to expire and will be removed in the future.
This map has high DPI tiles for mobiles, tablets and high resolution screens.
This map is restricted to logged-in users.

Expiring Maps

The Bing Maps software will be turned off by Microsoft on 30 June 2025. This will affect these maps: Earthstar Satellite, Bing Maps and OS via Bing Maps. It will also affect the Bing Traffic overlay and the elevation profile for a route. Over the next few months I'll be looking for replacements.

Restricted Maps

Some maps are restricted to logged-in users. This is because they are not freely available and have usage limits. Allowing public use might exceed these limits.

If restricted maps still exceed their limits then the only way to increase those limits is to pay the map providers. This would mean working out a way to pass the cost on to users.

Restricted maps are:

  • OS DataHub Lesiure
  • OS DataHub Road
