As well as releasing the new OS MasterMap Water Network Layer earlier this month, we have also updated a number of datasets available in the Ordnance Survey collection. Most notably this month we have updated OS Open Map – Local, the most detailed OpenData product available from Ordnance Survey. OS Open Map – Local was initially released as a beta product in March 2015. The October 2016 release of Open Map – Local marks the end of the beta period and provides the first main version of the dataset.
The first main release of Open Map – Local has a few changes over the prevous beta version, including:
- improved road information
- addition of Car Charging Points sourced from the National Charge Registry
- enhancements to the features included in the Important Buildings feature class
- creation of a raster version optimised for display at 1:10,000 scale, this will be the replacement for OS Street View which is no longer updated and will be withdrawn by OS in March 2017
The tables below list all the datasets that were updated this month.
