Digimap Download
A new Digimap Download facility has been launched. Improvements include more intuitive searching, and clearer selection of tiles via a map. Available from the Digimap Ordnance Survey map and data collection.
Digimap Classic
The map shown on screen is now larger and square rather than rectangular. The size has been increased to 600 x 600 pixels. This change is also reflected in the EPS and PDF files available from the Digimap Classic Map Chest. If you have a very low screen resolution (800 x 600 or less) you may find that horizontal scrolling is necessary to view the whole map on screen.
Digimap Gazetteer Query
For each place name returned there is now a link to a map. Please note, these maps are for reference only, and are therefore not intended for printing.
