W.D. Posted March 16, 2010 Report Posted March 16, 2010 Hi guys,I would welcome some advice on getting a copy of Ord Survey map or similar so I can get my loft pin-pointed? Is there anything cheaper than buying one from O/S ?
PIGEON_MAN Posted March 16, 2010 Report Posted March 16, 2010 Get in touch with your club sec.its usually him or another person that does your loft marking.
Kyleakin Lofts Posted March 16, 2010 Report Posted March 16, 2010 I have just had to pay £23-50 for mine, not cheap. If your club doesn't have one to cover your loft, I don't think you have any other option. I got mine from a place licenced by OS. Slightly cheaper than direct. Shop around your area. Prices vary, but I was told they have to charge £20 + VAT for the first one. The price is set by OS.

Yes thats what I have found as well,told I'll have to get it as clubs' map doesn't go out to where I live.That will be £60+(inc.fees) and not even put a bird in a basket yet!!! One club member trying to help said he got a copy from library, but didn't have a suitable map at my local one the scale was too small. Anybody else able to help,please?

Guest paulrstokes Posted March 17, 2010 Report Posted March 17, 2010 I just had mine done, get a photocopy from the libary, make sure the grid lines and the numbers are clerarly shown.
Guest joshdonlan Posted March 17, 2010 Report Posted March 17, 2010 what details do you need on a map? Would something like this be any good? 1.
pjc Posted March 17, 2010 Report Posted March 17, 2010 what details do you need on a map? Would something like this be any good? 1. not big enough scale, you need to be able to identify individual buildings and garden plots to be able to pin point loft location.
Guest joshdonlan Posted March 17, 2010 Report Posted March 17, 2010 ok will try to find something on a larger scale
Guest frank dooman Posted March 17, 2010 Report Posted March 17, 2010 the rpra wont except that josh got to be O.S. and that will cost where do you live wd
Guest joshdonlan Posted March 17, 2010 Report Posted March 17, 2010 it is a registered os map. I just cut and pasted a photoshot of it. See PM
pjc Posted March 17, 2010 Report Posted March 17, 2010 that is suitable scale but the map must be printed with Long & Lat Grid reference and lines.
Guest joshdonlan Posted March 17, 2010 Report Posted March 17, 2010 is it off the web? its a planning application mapping programme
Guest frank dooman Posted March 17, 2010 Report Posted March 17, 2010 that is suitable scale but the map must be printed with Long & Lat Grid reference and lines. your right its all to do with the O.S. people getting paid it has to have the grid lines
