There are three National Mapping Agencies responsible for mapping Britain and Ireland. Although they share the name Ordnance Survey they are, in fact, three separate organisations each responsible to their own governments. Each has their own portfolio of products and services, each produced to their own specifications.

Ordnance Survey Ireland - See OSI products in our mapshop
The NMO website has been designed to allow National Mapping Agencies across the world to share information, discuss issues of mutual interest and to catch up on all the latest news. The website includes information about CC:The Exchange Conference being hosted at Ordnance Survey 3 to 6 July 2005. The Exchange is an interim gathering ahead of the next Cambridge Conference with an emphasis on networking and round-table discussions.
This web site is primarily aimed at professional surveyors, geodesists and GIS developers. You can also access general and technical information including the use of GPS, guides to the National Grid and coordinate systems in Great Britain.

/freemapsfor11yearolds/
Free maps for 11-year-olds scheme aimed to provide all children, irrespective of home or school circumstances, with a map of their own at the stage in their school career when it was most likely to be of best use. By providing additional maps for teachers at a ratio of 1 for every 25 pupil maps the scheme also aimed to improve school map resources.
Each year of the scheme has seen over 750 000 maps distributed to pupils via their schools. By the end of 2005 this will amount to over 3 million maps.
This web site is jointly sponsored in Great Britain by the Association for Geographic Information AGI®, the Intra-governmental Group on Geographic Information (IGGI) and Ordnance Survey®.
Hosted by Ordnance Survey, the four-yearly conference brings together the heads of national mapping organisations and other leading players. They will debate advances in technology and how their data can support policies on key issues, like land management, flooding, transport, education, healthcare and social exclusion.
