Hi,

I've noticed 'snap to path' not working on OS maps when you're on topographic map, a message says something like 'snap to path only works in national parks unless you're using the standard map'. Anyone know why this has changed? if there's a fix or if it might change back?

thanks

It's working fine for me around Milton Keynes which definitely isn't a NP!  Does your app need updating?  That's what the older app used to say before they added it everywhere (I think using openstreetmap data).

My partners app also says it only works in National Parks. Will look into updating.

I actually find the snap to path rather annoying as when following a route, mainly on bridleways with mountain bikes, the route covers the actual track so you can’t see the designation between a path and a bridleway or byway.  I use MamoryMap to plan a track and draw it alongside the actual track on the map. 

Seems to work outside the NP on mine. Only occasional issue I have is the 'snap' occasionally defaulting to a wall line or other feature rather than the path/track shown on the map.

Still quite impressive stuff.

I believe it uses OpenStreetMap data rather than OS data, which is why the paths are sometimes not quite the same.

Thanks Neil, thought it might have been a digitisation error, but that explains it.

mine has always said same (3yrs). Interesting to read it’s not the same for all!
