At that time, and for many years later, OS maps did not explicitly show
rights of way, and always had a disclaimer on them along the lines of
"The depiction of a track or path on this map does not imply the
existence of a public right of way".

Looking at an area I'm very familiar with: it does not show public
rights of way; it merely seems to show paths which are physically
present on the ground. Some of these are rights of way, and some are not.

Hi Andy,
No there isn't - I'm a Premium subscriber.
The "Standard" base map is rubbish as a map in its own right. For
example it has contour lines, but no height indications on them, or even
which direction is uphill. What's the use of that? It is used as a base
map for other coloured overlays in addition to the Street map, such as
the National Park Paths, Cycle Map, Greenspace maps. None of which work
very well.
On mobile devices there is also a low-brightness Night map which is
useful.
However, the Aerial, 25K and 50K maps are fine -- and the 3D stuff and
fly-over functions are great.
The main reason for subscribing however, is the ability to view a large
database of routes, create your own custom routes to add to it (or not),
and have an easy URL of your route which you can send to friends.
cheers,
Martin.
