Do British Isles Maps Show the Channel Islands?
It depends on the map's scale, purpose, and publisher:
- World/small-scale maps: Usually omit them due to size.
- Regional UK/Europe maps: Often include them as inset boxes or on the main map.
- Ordnance Survey (UK national mapping agency): Includes Channel Islands in its "British Isles" series.
- Road atlases: Many (e.g., AA, Collins) show them as insets.
- Political maps: May exclude them to avoid implying UK sovereignty.
Always check the legend or inset boxes.
