Ordnance Survey Active Deals, Sales & Codes in June, 2026

Ordnance Survey is the UK’s national mapping agency, operating as an executive agency of the government. Established in the late 18th century, it has grown from a military defence project into the definitive source for British geospatial data. Today, millions of hikers, urban planners, and emergency responders rely on its master map, which tracks hundreds of millions of individual landscape features across Great Britain.

The shop provides a comprehensive range of physical and digital navigation tools. Shoppers can choose between the highly detailed 1:25,000 scale Explorer maps for walking and the 1:50,000 scale Landranger maps for broader cycling or driving routes. Beyond standard folding maps, the retailer stocks custom-made map prints, historical archive reprints, Pathfinder guidebooks, and premium digital subscriptions for the OS Maps app.

Navigating the right purchase is straightforward thanks to the online Map Selector tool, which pinpoints exactly which paper map covers your chosen destination. Digital users can test the premium app features with a fortnight’s free trial before committing to a subscription. Physical orders benefit from free standard Royal Mail delivery across the UK, with next-day options available if you order early in the afternoon.

Whether you are planning a weekend hike or sourcing a unique cartographic gift, combining these practical perks with the voucher codes below makes securing the best price remarkably simple.

Is it worth paying for the OS Maps premium app, or should I stick to paper?

We usually suggest starting with the 14-day free trial to test the premium routing features offline. If you frequently hike in areas with patchy mobile signal, the digital download function is a genuine lifesaver. But for casual weekend strolls where battery life is a concern, a traditional folded Landranger map remains brilliantly reliable and won’t die on you halfway up a fell.

How can I get the best price when buying maps for a long-distance trail?

Long-distance paths like the Pennine Way often cross multiple map boundaries, forcing you to buy three or four separate Explorer sheets. Rather than paying full price for each, look out for the historical or guidebook multi-buy codes, or bundle your purchase during a seasonal sale. If you are buying custom maps for the entire route, the custom-made discount codes offer a much steeper percentage off than standard single-sheet promotions.

What is the difference between the Explorer and Landranger ranges?

It entirely depends on your pace and activity. The orange Explorer maps use a 1:25,000 scale, showing every field boundary, stile, and small footpath—essential for intricate walking routes. The pink Landranger maps step back to a 1:50,000 scale. They cover a much wider geographical area in a single sheet, making them the better choice for cyclists, horse riders, or drivers who need the broader lay of the land rather than granular footpath details.
