Google Maps Compass

Google Maps have been integrated within the Ordnance Survey Map Compass tool. Google Compass overlays a compass on a Google Map that matches the UK Ordnance Survey Map location. Google Map routes can then be plotted on a range of different map styles, with compass bearings, latitude and longitude coordinates, distances and magnetic variation or declination recorded.
Google Compass links can be found in the left side menu, map style menu and a button at the foot of the application.
