Have you noticed that maps are everywhere these days? Most mobile phone
users have access to Maps, they're in our cars - with built-in dashboard displays becoming the norm -, you'll see them when
out and about to help us navigate our busy cities. Maps are commonly found in board games and
puzzles, they can be used as decorative works of art  - some people even wear them! 

Maps surround us all the time but sometimes it can be hard to work out what you need for your work and some
popular online maps may not be the best option.Whatever your mapping needs the University of Portsmouth map library is here to help you. 

Portsmouth happens to be one of the best mapped places in Britain and some of this material can be accessed fromour map library.
From historic maps to bang up-to-date Digital Data we should be able to point you in the right direction. 

It's not just for geographers either; we help architects and property development students who might use online mapping
software that has tools to compare annotate and print digital maps, geologists wanting a base map to use out in the
field, historians who get very excited by our excellent collection of historic large-scale Ordinance Survey maps, anyone
trying to Source a map for their overseas fieldwork. But it's not just about work - you might just want a basic Ordinance Survey map to help you find your way
while exploring the lovely British countryside.
