News for map fans

I have just noticed that the OS maps app now gives me access to large scale maps of the USA, Australia and New Zealand. Just zoom out till you can see the whole globe and zoom in on the country. Handy if you're planning to walk the PCT or Te Araroa trail, or if like me you just like staring at maps!

When was Northern Ireland added to OS Maps?! I've been using Outdoor Active when I've been walking there.
