Ordnance Survey OpenData
Since our last MAPit, the Ordnance Survey has now officially released a series of map datasets covering the UK. These map datasets are covered by the Creative Commons license which means they are free to use and commercially exploit without incurring any ongoing licensing fees.
These mapping datasets could be useful for your company to use within:
- GIS or internal tools
- on your website
- for printed maps such as leaflets or wall maps to help planning.
Our pricing for these datasets is now considerably cheaper than our previous Ordnance Survey map data pricing. All costs are on a one off basis, so you pay for your mapping now and then can use in any format you require without paying any oncurring licensing fees.
The key mapping sets available are as follows:
 |
OS Street View (1:10,000) |

OS VectorMap™ District (1:25,000)- not to be confused with the Explorer data which is not OS OpenData mapping |

We are also in the process of developing some interim scale levels from the OS OpenData.
