Harvey Maps was set up in 1977 to produce maps that would give people the freedom to enjoy cycling, walking and running in open spaces. From the beginning they sought to make their maps clear and easy to read. They passionately believe a map should be an aid, not a challenge. Given British weather, they also said from the start that they must be waterproof if they are to be used outdoors.
For Harvey it is vital that their maps are detailed, so users can find their way confidently. To be reliable they also need to be up-to-date. To achieve these aims they construct their maps from original air surveys.
