Apologies that aerial photos & Open Street Map are not currently available on the iRecord app, due to changes in the map provider's API. We hope to issue a fix in November. For now the app can still provide a location from its GPS, and OS maps can still be used, see image below.

The iRecord app has now been updated to reinstate the map layers that went missing last month - should update automatically but if not check your app store. (Make sure you upload your records to the website before doing a full update on your phone.) x.com/___BRC___/stat…
