Find the Right Map for Your Route

No centre grid reference needed - tell Aqua3 where your route starts, passes through and finishes.

• Enter place names, postcodes or OS grid references
• Use Start, Via points and Finish instead of calculating a centre grid reference
• See the points together so you can check the basic area your map needs to cover
• Choose the map scale you want
• Aqua3 suggests the lowest-cost suitable format first
• If A3+ Custom Duplex covers the area, the £8.99 option is shown first
• Event and larger folded maps remain available when more surrounding coverage is wanted
• For an exact route line, you can also load a GPX route
• Particularly useful for DofE, schools, walking groups and routes covering several locations
