How to obtain Ordnance Survey map data

Once you are a member of the PSMA there are many resources available to you in the public sector members’ area. There also a number of options open to councils when obtaining mapping, depending on your objective and your technical skills.

How can you obtain Ordnance Survey mapping?

You have a number of options,

•    You can order datasets direct from the members’ area either to arrive on disc or via download. Download data can be with you within a matter of minutes.

There is further information on how to use the order system on the members’ area. To fully utilise Ordnance Survey data you require a Geographic Information System (GIS). Therefore, if you haven’t already done so you will need to consider getting a GIS.

•   Some local authorities help local councils, who don’t have the ability to use digital data, by giving them access to mapping in a format they can use. If you already have an arrangement with your principle authority you can continue but using your own licence number instead of theirs.

•    Ordnance Survey has a number of Partners who have specially designed solutions for Town, Parish & Community Councils. They can provide a complete solution which integrates mapping with software. Click here if you would like to see how other councils are using Partner solutions.
