OS	Ordnance Survey (OS) mapping covers England, Wales and Scotland - not Northern Ireland or the Channel Islands. Isle of Man is 1:50K only. Legend : OS 1:25K pdf, OS 1:50K pdf. There are paper 1:25K maps for both Isle of Man and the Channel Islands
OSI, OSNI	OSI and OSNI produce paper 1:50K and some 1:25K maps. OSI isn't online. OSNI (then Basemap Gallery / 4 squares icon, then 25K or 50K)
OpenStreetMap	OpenStreetMap is an opensource global crowd sourced map. It is better at showing footpaths than the OS in some places.
