Ordnance Survey Open Data
A wide range of Ordnance Survey data is now freely available as Open Data, including map background, gazetteer, postcode, road, river and terrain datasets.
OS Open Data products are freely available under an Open Government license, but are only available from OS in a limited range of formats and are often supplied tiled or as full UK coverage.
GIS4BUSINESS can supply OS Open Data products in the correct format for your system and covering your specific area of interest. We can provide regular updates to these datasets as they become available, so your OS Open Data is always kept up-to-date. We can also combine several products and deliver them as a single dataset.
In some cases, we have enhanced the standard OS product with additional attribution that our customers find useful. For full details, feel free to browse our OS Open Data products below.
