Mapping agreements and Ordnance Survey products

When an organisation becomes a member of a mapping agreement, staff within that organisation can access a range of Ordnance Survey products.

There are two mapping agreements, each of which have a range of product entitlements, these are the Public Sector Mapping Agreement (PSMA) and the One Scotland Mapping Agreement (OSMA).The exact entitlement given to an organisation will vary depending on the agreement they have joined. In England and Wales, membership of PSMA entitles organisations to all the products in the Ordnance Survey portfolio. In Scotland, membership of OSMA entitles organisations access to all data covering Scotland plus a 2km ‘buffer zone’.
