OS MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows OS Outdoor mapping — contours, footpaths, bridleways and access land. Explorer 1:25k shows the OS Explorer sheets themselves: the orange-covered 1:25 000 maps walkers, fell runners and mountain rescue teams use, with field boundaries, rights of way and open access land. The search box finds any British town, village or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Woodhouse Carr.
Reading the map like a paper Explorer sheet. Click Grid to overlay the OS National Grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference such as NY 266 234 by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as an OS National Grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what mountain rescue and the coastguard work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your grid reference stays correct even where the map itself cannot load, which in the Lakes, the Dales and the Highlands is often exactly where you need it.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Woodhouse Carr rises from the northern fringes of the city as a sturdy testament to the grit and industry that once defined the Leeds landscape. It lies 0.8 miles north of Leeds (from Leeds: bearing 8°T, OS grid SE 298 352). Industrial brickwork and terraced rows define the skyline here, capturing a pale, slate-coloured light that shifts across the rooftops during the long Yorkshire afternoons. A short walk to the west brings one to the expansive, open greens of Woodhouse Moor, where the wind carries a different, quieter energy than the bustling streets below. The persistent flow of Sheepscar Beck murmurs through the periphery, a hidden ribbon of water that has witnessed the slow transformation of the local topography over many decades. Residents of Woodhouse Carr often navigate paths that lead toward the cultural heart of the district, where the proximity of the university institutions lends a youthful, intellectual hum to the air. The terrain maintains a steady, upward tilt, grounding the district in a firm, unpretentious geography that resists the gloss of modernity. Even now, the echoes of a working past linger in the proportions of the streets, giving Woodhouse Carr an enduring, singular character that persists beneath the noise of the contemporary world.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any British town, village or landmark by name; offers OS Outdoor and the OS Explorer 1:25 000 sheets as base layers; overlays a labelled OS National Grid so the map can be read like a printed Explorer sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as an OS National Grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the grid reference remains correct even where the map cannot load.
