Tweaking the map

The map showing the rights of way (ROWs) currently uses the settings shown in the following form. If the map isn't quite what you are after, alter the settings to what you want and then click the revisit this web page... button:

place
kind of map
by
by
width of the map
height of the map
level to zoom
types of ROWs to be output	Footpath	Bridleway	Restricted Byway	BOAT
colours (and styles) used for the ROWs
footpaths	colour		style
bridleways	colour		style
restricted byways	colour		style
byways open to all traffic	colour		style
width of any lines drawn on the map
show transport stops such as bus stops
You may wish to avoid using black circles for a transport stop as they are used for any kind of stops that are not listed here. When the underlying map is a Google Map, the style will be ignored and a circle will be used for the stop.
airport	colour		style
bus or coach stop	colour		style
ferry stop or port	colour		style
metro or tram stop	colour		style
railway station	colour		style
taxi rank	colour		style

If you choose to customise the colours used for ROWs or for transport stops, you can type in any HTML colour. Here's a link to a web page that has examples of HTML colours. You can either type a colour's name, e.g: chartreuse or type a hash character followed by three hexadecimal pair of characters that indicate the intensity of red, green and blue. So typing #7fff00 will also choose chartreuse.

It may help to know that:
    a width of 800 and a height of 1066 works well
        if you want to print a map in portrait mode
    a zoom of at least 13 works well.

When you are happy with the settings, i.e.,it is producing the map you want, click on the following link:

If you include transport stops, then rowmaps will use the NaPTAN data that was available on 18th April 2024. The plan is to update every two months to the latest version of the data.
