EDINA Digimap
The EDINA Digimap Service is an on-line service that allows users to view and create maps of any location in Great Britain using Ordnance Survey map data.
Through an easy-to-use HTML interface, Classic provides access to a range of fixed scale maps that can be printed as an A4-size GIF, EPS or PDF.
Accompanying this interface is a Data Download tool that allows you to download digital map data for use in application software such as Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and CAD.
Carto, a more advanced Java based service, enables the user to select the scale of their output and print maps up to A0 in size.
Historic Digimap provides access to Ordnance Survey historic maps of Great Britain, including:
- all available County Series maps at 1:2,500 and 1:10560 scales published between 1843 and 1939
- all available National Grid maps at 1:1,250, 1:2,500 and 1:10560/10,000 scales published from 1945 and before the introduction of the OS digital Land-Line product.
