OS OnDemand

A single view of your latest data wherever you are

OS OnDemand is a web service for directly licenced customers delivering our mapping over the web directly into organisations.

The service offers you mapping of Great Britain at a range of scales, making it ideal for a huge variety of applications.

OS OnDemand is available as either a Web Map Service (WMS), which allows your organisation to have a single view of our data, or a Web Map Tile Service (WMTS-like) which makes customising maps for your website much faster. The WMTS includes a consistently styled zoom map stack that enables easier interpretation of mapping between zoom thresholds.

The WMS is based on open standards and compliant with the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC^®) web services standard for use via a browser or a geographic information system (GIS).
