Ordnance Survey maps to go online

November 18, 2009

And not a moment too soon. Given that we pay for this data to be collected and for the maps to be produced, it seems right that we should have free access to them.

Ordnance Survey maps to go online

Ordnance Survey mapping data should be free from April 2010.

Ordnance Survey map data will be freely available online to everybody from 2010, the Government has announced.

The move will allow people to interpret public statistics about crime, health and education by postcode, local authority or electoral boundary.

Currently, the geographical data is only available free of charge to small scale developers.
