Here are some more information for Landmark Map:
One way to take your mind off the monotony of a cardio workout is to concentrate on something else. For example, you can distract yourself during a walk, run or bicycle ride by competing with a moving object or landmark.
1 Chase tugboats. If you live near a river, canal, lake or ocean, use watercraft to pace yourself. The speed of a river tugboat is comparable to that of an average human runner, and a bicycle rider can easily overtake an overloaded river tug and barge. A ship in the distance while running on the beach will probably appear more as a landmark than "pace car," but there may be fishing boats closer to shore that are moving fast enough to keep up with.
2 Cars in the distance. Similarly, if you do your cardio on high, are are able to see cars moving down below (in a valley), pick a car and compete with it. Race with it until it moves out of view. Don't concentrate on the vehicle too much - keep your eyes on the path, more so than on the car - or you may trip. Pick out a new vehicle after you lose the first, and so on.
3 Birds, planes and hot air balloons. Watch for vapor trails and eagles. If you're fortunate enough to have a hot air balloon floating nearby, keeping pace with one of these is a breeze. Again, keep your eyes on the road so you don't run off in a ditch.
4 Chasing bicycles. Walkers and joggers can chase bicycles, or at least pick up their pace a bit when one passes by. The cycler doesn't have to know and probably won't even notice as you try to maintain their speed for a bit.
5 Trains. If you're near train tracks, watch for locomotives. If you spot one in the distance, apply the same pace car trick as with automobiles. If it is moving along tracks nearby, it's probably about the same as trying to keep up with a bicycle, and can only be used for short bursts of speed.
6 Light or electric poles. This is just a matter of picking out something that appears along your path to use as a short-term goal. If you're really huffing and puffing, these work great to keep you going a hundred or so meters at a time.
7 Landmarks. These can be lighthouses in the distance, buildings on the horizon, or anything in between, and are used as something to keep an eye on. A goal, per se. If you're a true trail-runner, you might use a distant landmark to keep you running in a straight line, for example
If you can find an object that is moving - something that also allows you to compete with its speed - generally, anything that takes your mind off discomfort or boredom associated with cardio sessions - your fitness program will become more interesting, providing you with something to look forward to, rather than something you dread.
As always, remember to check with your doctor before your begin or renew a fitness program.

Navigating the UK using Ordnance Survey Maps
Whether you're an experienced UK walker or simply a weekend enthusiast, it's vitally important that you equip yourself with a suitable map and compass, and that you familiarise yourself with the route you are planning to follow. This preparation can save your life should the elements conspire against you.
Selecting a map
Choosing the right map is important. Don't assume any map will do. Too little detail and you may find yourself struggling to spot any recognisable landmarks, too much detail and you may get confused. Popular maps in the UK include the OS Explorer Series and the OS Landranger Series. Both are excellent for walkers -but offer different benefits and drawbacks. These are briefly highlighted at the end of this article.
Understanding Your OS Map
Once you've selected the map format of your choice, it's important to familiarise yourself with your new map. Learn to recognise the various landmarks displayed, and the keys/symbols/legends used on the map - along with their meanings. OS Maps are incredibly detailed and offer a wealth of information to help you along your way.
Also, make sure you know the scale of your map and learn to roughly calculate distances at a glance. This will help you to plan your walk and to quickly alter your route should conditions change.
Map Scale - Understanding Distances
Maps offer us a top down "birds-eye" view of the earth. They are of course scaled down, but still maintain enough information to make them incredibly useful. The most popular scale with walkers in the United Kingdom is the 1:25000, which equates to 1cm on the map equalling 250m in real-life. Others popular scales include the 1:40000 and 1:50000.
When you first plan your journey you must decide on a comfortable walking distance. Be sure to check the weather for the day in question as you'll probably cover less distance on a very hot day (or in bad weather). Also take into account hills and gradients.
TIP: Lay a piece of string along your route on the map and mark the distance. You can then measure the length of string using the scale which is usually printed on the map. This helps to give you an accurate distance.
Using a Compass
Maps are of little use if you don't know where you are and in which direction you are walking. In bad weather, low visibility or areas with no distinguishable landmarks, it would be virtually impossible to navigate without a compass.
To use a compass with your OS Map, follow these simple steps:
1)Align the map in the direction you are facing. Make sure the landmarks on the map match what you are seeing ahead of you.
2)Adjust the orientating arrow on the compass to point to North on the map.
3)Using the guidelines on your map, adjust the compass housing to take into differences between grid north and magnetic north.
4)Remove your compass from the map and start walking.
NOTE: It's important to use common sense to double check that you are walking in the right direction, and that you check your bearings after each turning.
A Quick Recap
It's incredibly easy to get lost when out walking. It happens every day in the UK. People never expect that they will find themselves lost, but thousands of people do each year. Preparation is the most important factor to ensure you're not one of them.
Remember to equip yourself with a waterproof jacket and a fleece (or insulated jacket). It maybe forecast for hot weather but in the UK weather invariably changes in an instance. Also make sure you are wearing suitable footwear. Pack sufficient fluids and food for the journey and don't forget your map and compass!
OS Explorer Maps vs OS Landranger Maps
OS Explorer is the most detailed folded paper map available from the Ordnance Survey. OS Explorer Maps are recommended for anyone enjoying outdoor activities, including walking, horse riding and off-road cycling. There are 403 maps in the series and each map provides information essential for the great outdoors, including youth hostels, pubs and visitor information. Rights of way, fences, permitted paths and bridleways are clearly shown, ensuring you have the best information to get the most out of your time in the countryside.
OS Landranger maps are all-purpose maps ideal for planning days out. Each of the 204 maps cover an area 40 km by 40 km (25 miles by 25 miles) which makes them ideal for finding places of interest or planning an outdoor activities. Landranger Maps feature tourist information, camping and caravan sites, picnic areas and viewpoints, selected places of interest and rights of way information for England and Wales.

Where can I get a Lewis and Clark map with landmarks?
I have to re-create a map of the Lewis and Clark trail and I get more credit for more detail, so anything like forts (such as Fort Mandan), Native American villages, Rivers and Mountains (very important) and their locations. I appreciate you answers.
