#1
Ordnance Survey
4.4
(7)
"I've got a ton of use from my OS explorer maps, highly recommend them."
"Definitely OS over anything else."
"Ordnance Survey, hands down. Very detailed every crag and boulder shown and regularly updated."
"I prefer the OS active maps. They look the same no matter where I am in the country then! That said I do have a Harvey 1:40000 map for the Lakes which I keep in the bag as a backup."
"OS. I have used Harvey's for long distance routes where the waymarking is good, but for general use its OS every time."
"I tend to go for the 'active maps' when using OS because who doesn't like added waterproofing lol."
"OS explorer has all worked fine for me. The British mountain maps from BMC are good to and can be a little better for looking at gradients."
#2
Inkarnate
4.3
(6)
"+3 for Inkarnate"
"+2 for Inkarnate"
"+1 for inkarnate"
"I use Inkarnate to make the map and Fire Alpaca to add something, change the color(s) of some things, and/or edit lighting"
"Inkarnate is going to require minimal setup but has the most creative freedom."
"If you want to create your own, you can use an online service like Inkarnate."
#3
Dungeon Alchemist
4.8
(5)
"I've used Dungeon Alchemist, which is a 3D map creator."
"Dungeon Alchemist on Steam can help, I personally use it for my D&D campaign via Foundry VTT."
"I create most of my own these days with Dungeon Alchemist."
"Dungeon Alchemist is my go to for fast maps. HIGH recommend"
"Dungeon alchemist."
#4
Google Maps
4.8
(4)
"Google maps is very good in krabi. i use it daily…"
"Google ALWAYS worked for me."
"Google maps all the way! Real-time traffic, road closure info etc. are pretty accurate."
"Google maps has all the roads on it that any other maps do."
#5
Xbox
4.3
(4)
"I like Te Awaroa - playing it currently. First place I've had regular success bird hunting with the shotgun."
"Silver Ridge was pretty good too."
"Sandarpatan was good."
"Enjoyed MedVed too."
#6
Harveys Maps
4.0
(4)
"On Harvey maps, the crag markings are more accurate in that they're not a standardised pattern but an attempt to represent the actual shape and outline of the crags."
"Harvey maps on the otherhand are produced with the sole purpose of people using them to navigate, so they're including addition"
"If you're ever walking in an area that's covered by Harvey maps then I think it's worth trying them out. Once you get used to them I do think they're clearer to use."
"Personally I prefer Harvey maps over OS, they tend to have just the right detail for hillwalking. Their waterproof map material is also far superior to the OS Active maps."
#7
Liftoff
5.0
(3)
"Liftoff is my favorite."
"Liftoff and liftoff micro drones are the best to me. good maps and decent simulation of drone physics."
"I like liftoff to practise, tryp has cool graphics and liftoff micro drones is also fun."
#8
Garmin
4.7
(3)
"I bought myself a secondary hand Garmin watch for £200 that has full OS map capability."
"Garmin explore is amazing and free."

#9
Valorant
4.0
(3)
"Lotus (it just flows so well, and it's gorgeous too)"
"Lotus, Pearl, Haven"
"Pearl - Only map where I enjoy lurking. Postplant spam got nerfed and that makes the map 2X better in my opinion."
#10
Game
2.8
(4)
"This game is fun to slow play like a patient sneaky recon sniper who spends 90% of time observing and 10% executing the plan."
"Simple to get kills but hard to navigate with oni vision."
"Dungeon map is easy to lose someone in without oni vision."
"The worst maps for Forest King by far are Mansion and Eclipse. The Lurking Facades ALWAYS go up and it does not give a good look to me."
#11
Niloticus
2.8
(4)
"Best products include forest and fnaf3."
"Mid products include pillars and mansion, but can still wipe."
"Worst map is, believe it or not, FNaF 3. Yes, it has EXTREMELY good spots for Puddles, but it is so incredibly easy to simply just, loop around the entire map and avoid the Niloticus."
"Worst products include tjoc, gilgamesh strongholds map, and dungeon."
