MapSite has been updated on 11 November with changes to the service.

Plain map

A new map layer has been added to the service, the Plain map. This product is particularly intended for people with limited vision, but it also works as a background and guide map.

In comparison with the Basic map, the Plain map has less information and fewer colours. The information that is shown has also been emphasised and contrast increased to make map features more easily distinguishable. The Plain map can be selected from the Map layer menu. You can give feedback on the Plain map via the MapSite feedback function.
