Not from OS map's they're not

But there's nothing like the degree of accuracy that the OS has, or represents.

All public services across the UK are totally reliant on them

Unless you're out camping, have no phone signal or no way to charge your battery. Map reading is still a vital skill some need to be able to do. God help anyone that goes to war with America as most GPS devices (sat nav included) work of yank satellites.
