   Selection
To order your MapmakerPlus map, centred on the area of your choice, enter a post code or place name and select the appropriate option. The search box is not case-sensitive, but you will need to enter a complete post code. If a search is returned with 'no placename found for xxx', try alternative spellings or punctuation: 'St Albans' rather than St. Albans' or Stoke on Trent' rather than 'Stoke-on-Trent', for example.

Search results
The screen will display thumbnails of all the maps available at the scale indicated by the tab at the top of the page . It will also show the date range of the map. Note: site centred maps are made up of multiple, seamless, tiles geo-rectified and edge-matched to form a continous mapping layer. Therefore there may be more than one date depending on when each map was surveyed and published. In some cases there might also be visible joins where two map sheets don't align. This is usually due to the nature of the original map sheets.
 

Personalisation
A title (maximum 60 characters) can be added.
Why not add your own information such as village, town name or personalise it with the name of the persons house the map is centred on to create a truly unique map.
Please restrict your text to letters (lower or upper case), numbers, apostrophes, commas, colons, semi-colons, hyphens and full stops. Other characters, including ampersands, inverted commas and question marks, can cause problems with text display.

Verification of centre point
Clicking the 'View map centre' button enables you to view an enlargement of the centre area of the map, letting you to check that the map is correctly centred.

Adjusting the centre point
Go 'Back' and re-specify the place name or post code.
