Mapping Services Agreement

More than 500 local government organisations are able to access the latest Ordnance Survey digital mapping and geographic data through the Mapping Services Agreement (MSA).

Topographic, address and integrated transport network data are among the wide range of products available for use in providing better front-line services, reducing local government costs and improving local and strategic decision-making.

The agreement covers all district, county and unitary councils, metropolitan borough councils, London boroughs, national park authorities and some emergency services – notably local police and fire services.
