Dear All,

 

I have just come across this news the OS is making some of its data sets available for public use. It was launched on 1st April (so hopefully not an April Fools!).

 

See:

 

http://blog.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/2010/04/os-opendata-goes-live/

 

The data can be gotten via:

 

http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/opendata/

 

The following datasets are included in OS OpenData:

 

•               OS Street View

•               1: 50 000 Gazetteer

•               1: 250 000 Colour Raster

•               OS Locator

•               Boundary-Line

•               Code-Point Open

•               Meridian 2

•               Strategi

•               MiniScale

•               Land-Form PANORAMA

•               OS VectorMap District (available May 2010)

 

Get it while you can!

 

Gordon.
