Digital Ordnance Survey maps
TrackLogs maps contain real Ordnance Survey digital data and are visually identical to the paper Explorer and Landranger maps. Our maps show footpaths, bridleways and contours, just like the paper maps.
Pan and zoom
Seamless mapping means no boundaries. Pan from one end of the country to the other.
Search by place name
All text printed on the maps is catalogued in a searchable index included in all products.
Map scales
The TrackLogs maps have scales of 1:25,000 (Explorer), 1:50,000 (Landranger) and 1:250,000 (Roadmap). All maps are installed in the same TrackLogs application, so you can switch between scales.
Print maps
Print the Ordnance Survey maps in colour on your home printer. Flexible printing tools let you control exactly what gets printed and automatically spread your route over multiple pages if needed.
Definitions of digital and electronic cartographic works
Cartography has now moved to a new qualitative level. The development of computerisation has completely changed many map-making processes. New mapping methods, technologies and directions have emerged. It is possible to distinguish different directions in which cartography is engaged today: digital mapping, three-dimensional modelling, computer publishing systems, etc. In this connection, new cartographic products appeared: digital, electronic and virtual maps, animations , three-dimensional cartographic models , digital terrain models .
Besides the creation of computer maps, it is necessary to create and maintain databases of digital cartographic information. Digital maps are inseparable from traditional maps. Theoretical fundamentals of cartography, accumulated over the centuries, have remained the same, only the technical heart of map creation has changed. The use of computer technology has resulted in significant changes in the technology of cartographic works. The technology of cartographic works was considerably simplified: time-consuming drafting, engraving and other manual works disappeared. As a result, all traditional drawing materials and supplies are no longer in use. A cartographer with knowledge of the software can quickly and efficiently produce complex cartographic work. There are also many opportunities to carry out design work to a very high standard: design of maps, atlas covers, cover sheets, etc.

Types of atlases
Traditional atlases take a very long time, decades to produce. Therefore, very often their content becomes outdated during the production process. Electronic atlases allow for significantly shorter production times. Keeping electronic maps and atlases up-to-date and updating them is now done very quickly and with high quality.
There are several types of electronic atlases:
– Atlases for visual viewing only (“flipping”) -viewer atlases.
-Interactive atlases in which the design, representation and classification of mapped phenomena can be changed, and hard copies of maps can be produced.
– Analytical atlases (GIS atlases) which enable maps to be combined and compared, quantified and evaluated, and maps overlaid
overlapping maps.
National atlases have been and are being created in many countries, including Russia. The National Atlas of Russia is an official state publication created by order of the government of the Russian Federation. The National Atlas of Russia provides a comprehensive view of the nature, population, economy, ecology, history and culture of the country.
