Get A Map Help

Get-a-map is a free improved mapping service from Ordnance Survey. You can search for maps anywhere in the UK simply by entering the place name, full postcode or National Grid reference – and print the maps or copy them for use on your personal or business web site.

After locating the approximate area of the UK using the service, the National Grid Code for the centre of the region will be displayed under the map. Also, as you move your cursor around the screen, the National Grid Ref for where the cursor is will be displayed in the status bar, bottom left.
