What is a Toggleable Map?

Toggling allows the user to flick between two map scales of the same area – rather than zooming in all the way into the 1:25,000 scale or all the way out to the 1:50,000 scale, you can jump between one scale and another at the flick of a switch!

In order to toggle a map (flick between the two scales) – you must be in an area of the map where the two different scales overlap. At the appropriate zoom levels, the “toggle sign” will become bold – which means you can click the “toggle button” and flick from scale to scale (instead of zooming).

National Parks


The Lake District:

The Lake District is a popular holiday destination, famous for its stunning scenery of wild fells, serene lakes, abundant wildlife, and a cultural heritage that includes links with Beatrix Potter, William Wordsworth and John Ruskin.

The landscape ranges from the rugged drama of Wasdale under the shadow of Scafell Pike, England's highest peak, to the beauty of the woods of Borrowdale, and countless lakes, tarns and gills.


The Peak District

The Peak District is located in the middle of England, making it easily accessible and therefore a popular destination for visitors.

Its rugged peaks attract climbers of all standards and walkers are drawn by the heather moorlands, rivers and hills, that can be explored from over 2,500 km of public rights of way.

The Yorkshire Dales

The Yorkshire Dales is a park of great beauty which draws many visitors in to enjoy the unique landscape of high fells and heather moors above steep grassy valleys, limestone cliffs, wooded scars and caverns scoured by rushing rivers.
