>"EVERYTHING happens somewhere" would be a good motto for the Ordnance
>Survey, Britain's premier mapmaker since 1791 and now a leader in
>computerized map resources and their astounding 21st century
>applications.

>The organization, a self-funded agency of the British government,
>devotes itself to improving modern life through the use of maps and
>stands as proof that the study of geography is alive and well - in

>Americans who have heard of the Ordnance Survey
>(www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk) - so named because it began as part of the
>British military - may know it because they have gone walking in
>England, Scotland or Wales using one of the organization's 470 Explorer
>series maps. Designed on a scale of 1:25,000 (which means that 2.5
>inches on paper equal a mile on the ground), the Explorer series is
>incredibly detailed, showing footpaths and public rights of way, Roman
>walls and telephone booths.
>
>Ten years ago, I used the bestselling Ordnance Survey Explorer map of
>the glorious English Lake District to find my way from the town of
>Keswick to the hamlet of Buttermere, where I knew I would find a
>telephone because the map told me so.
>
>Walking and the Ordnance Survey go sock in boot. When Parliament passed
>a law in 2000 opening new areas to the public, the organization began
>revising Explorer maps to reflect them. The massive remapping project is
>to be completed in March.
