DOBBIN Basic Principles

DOBBIN is a web facility for storing and displaying paths/routes/rides and waypoint markers on the web for your own use and sharing with others..

The base maps are provided by Ordnance Survey. Ordnance survey 50k (Landranger) is available together with streetmap and OS 250k.

The facility is provided on the bhsaccess.org.uk website.

You cannot plot your paths directly on DOBBIN

You can

plot your on a PC application such as Memory Map
plot your paths on another web facility such as DEFRA Magic Map
record a route on a Smart Phone or GPS.

You then save your plotted paths to a local file on your PC

On Memory Map you save your work as GPX file (.gpx extenion)
DEFRA Magic Map site enables you to save your work as ZIP file (.zip extension).
Smartphone Apps generally enable you to save you route as a GPX file and email the file to your PC.

You then upload your GPX (or zip file) to DOBBIN using the easy menus provided, and build and display your map.
