Digimap Ordnance Survey Collection

*Please note that Digimap Ordnance Survey Collection does not include Northern Ireland maps*

Digimap Ordnance Survey Collection contains maps of mainland Great Britain at scales ranging from 1:1,250 up to 1:750,000. There are scanned raster maps which are digital versions of Ordnance Survey's paper maps as well as vector maps at a range of scales including OS MasterMap^®, the most detailed large scale mapping.

The service includes many other products from Ordnance Survey including postcodes, administrative boundaries, a gazetteer of place names and digital terrain models.

Standard tasks that Digimap allows you to perform are:

• selecting your area of interest in Great Britain by zooming and panning
• viewing maps at one of the pre-defined scales
• printing maps at A4 to A0 size, in either landscape or portrait
• annotating maps with symbols, lines, polygons and labels
• downloading a PDF., PNG, JPG print files for printing later
• Setting a user defined scale for printing

The Data Download feature allows those with more specialist requirements to download map data for use eg in GIS software.
