Is there like a google maps for outdoors sort of like online maps like outdoor explorer ordanance survey maps?

you could try multimap, google maps, streetmap or ordnance survey websites, but they only give you a small section of the OS Map. To get a larger map you have to pay, and you can get discs with them on - again, ordnance survey do these (and paper maps of course).





I couldnt suggest this is a good idea but using, say multimap and a standard graphics package you can copy the free preview, move along to the next bit and copy that, paste them together in the graphics package tomake a larger map of course. But I wouldnt suggest that since to get the larger maps they want you to pay

Not sure just what "kind" of outdoor recreation you mean here. Since I camp and hike wilderness areas, I rely on topographic maps most of the time. I get some from the BLM or go to terraserver to look up features of a given area.





I also use national geographic maps for Nevada especially if I need to create a map to display on my blog.
Reply:You can get free on line maps, but you are better off buying a map of your chosen area, if you are visiting somewhere because you get a fuller picture than on computer print out.
