Welcome to Get-a-map, your 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.

You can now zoom to 1:25 000 – our largest scale national leisure mapping for Great Britain. The Isle of Man is covered by enlarged 1:50 000 scale mapping.

Business customers can find out more about large-scale computerised mapping data by visiting our Business section.

You can also use a free historical map service to see what your neighbourhood looked like in past times.
