OS maps - whole of UK to best scale
Would anyone be interested in this ? OS maps down to closest scale covering the whole of the UK ?
Found it quite by chance.

Quite a few websites offering this at various scales/usability/cost. Which particular one are you thinking of?
Let it snow.

it was a hill walking site and was discovered by accident - its free and can be screen shot and pasted. etc.
sample of the closest scale
you can zoom in and out all over the Gt Britain and IOM doesn't cover Ireland though

A link would be good.
Patience is not a virtue - it's a concept invented by the dozy beggars who are unable to think quickly enough.

Provided the OP is sharing a link to a legitimate site that isn't unlawfully sharing OS crown copyright data......

Yes, that lot is definitely in copyright, so legal advice might be a good idea as the OS take a dim view of such things.
Sharing that link on here has the potential for leaving SABRE in very hot water with an organisation we need to keep on the correct side of, and as such should be dealt with appropriately if it happens. Besides, it's not exactly difficult for people to spin up perfectly legal test servers for their own use with OS map tiles on as long as they sign up and agree to the OS's terms and conditions.

The OP is showing 1:25000 scale mapping which has been freely available on streetmap.co.uk for a number of years.
How would you like your grade separations, Sir?

And Streetmap pay the OS a lot of money for that in line with commercial agreements.
If it was that easy and free, SABRE Maps would be all over it. The fact that it isn't should tell everyone all they need to know.

Re: OS maps - whole of UK to best scale
I don't understand what the intentions of the OP are. A simple link is legitimate enough but pressing the PrtSc button and saving the image to post elsewhere on the net is taboo.
