About the Product
As one of our range of backdrop mapping products, Ordnance Survey's 1:10 000 Scale Raster map data is the most detailed product in our raster portfolio, providing large-scale background mapping upon which you can add or overlay information.
It can be combined with other data in a geographical information system (GIS), enabling you to visualise a wide range of information within a geographical context. Its level of feature detail makes 1:10 000 Scale Raster particularly useful for analysing data within urban and rural areas. For example, overlaying your own database onto a backdrop of 1:10 000 Scale Raster map data gives you a visual interpretation of areas where your customers or assets are concentrated, providing a powerful planning and marketing tool.
1:10 000 Scale Raster is supplied in a range of delivery options and is fully compatible with other Ordnance Survey digital data.
It provides a comprehensive map base ideal for detailed work, such as site management or environmental analysis.

Features and benefits
- Provides a static map backdrop on which you can overlay information.
- Provides detail, including fences, field boundaries, road names and buildings.
- Supplied as 5km by 5km tiles that are edgematched* to create a seamless dataset without overlaps or joins.
- Available in black and white or colour.
*Map features that occur at the edge of tiles are adjusted to align with their correspondent part on the adjacent tile. This means when a map area falls over two or more tiles, the picture is complete or edgematched. Principal communication features (motorways, A roads, railways, major rivers) are edgematched across tiles.
