Example of detail on OS Landranger Map (extract to scale)

Enter either a valid UK Post Code, place name, grid reference or xy coordinates into the boxes provided and click the button.

If the system does not recognise the information you have input you will be prompted to try again. If you are using the place name option it might be that the place you are looking for is not in our database. Try to think of somewhere close by and enter that - you can always move the centre of your map around once you are in the right basic area.

You will now be taken to a screen which displays an image of the area you selected in Stage 2. Please note that this image uses 1:200000 mapping and does not represent the mapping that you will receive - it is used purely for the purpose of allowing you to set your mapping area.

Key to symbols
		A red dot denotes the centre point of your mapping area
		The edges of the mapping area are defined by a box in the colour of the mapping range you have selected
Key to Map Tools
		Use this navigational panel to nudge the map image North, East, South or West. Clicking on the central red dot will recenter the map image. If you prefer you can click directly on the map image to move the central point.
	Clicking the boundaries button will change the zoom so that you can see the edges of the map on the screen.
	Clicking on the magnifying glass images will change the zoom of the map image. You can zoom in and out of the map to investigate areas more closely.
	By default the map centre is unlocked, allowing you to move the centre of the map around via either the control panel or by clicking directly on the map image itself. When you are happy with the centre point of your map you can click the Lock button to lock the centre in place. You can then browse around the edges, using the zoom in and zoom out buttons as above to take a closer look at the edges.
	If you want to unlock the centre point of the map so that you can again move the centre click the icon displayed here. Feel free to experiment with the lock and unlock function to nudge the centre and edges of your map to exactly the point you want them to be.
		If you change your mind about the type of mapping you chose in stage 1, you can click the Change Mapping button to change from OS Explorer to OS Landranger or vice versa. You will see that the area of coverage varies enormously from one range to another.
		If you are unhappy with your choice of central point and want to return to Step 1 then click the Start Again button.

Once you are happy with all your choices (which will be displayed in the information area below the Mapping Tools section) click the button.

You will again be shown the centre point of your map to double check that we have the correct central point as selected by you.

You now need to decide whether you want your map flat or folded. (flat maps are supplied rolled in a tube and can be displayed on the wall in schools, offices, local organisations or given as a gift to someone with an interest in a particular area).

You can also specify a title for your map - this will appear where indicated in the example to the left.

Next specify the number of OS Select maps centred on this area that you would like to purchase. (You can go through the selection process and add different OS Select maps as many times as you wish.

Click on the when you have completed your choices.

Put your feet up...your OS Select Map will be in the post within 5-7 working days.
