Why choose OS OpenSpace?

  • OS OpenSpace map data is based upon our world famous paper map series. If you are looking to launch an online application for outdoor pursuits, using OS OpenSpace will act as an ideal complement to your offline activities.
  • The quality of our data in rural areas is unrivalled. For you this means no white spaces between the main roads. This level of detail means that you can create applications with detailed information on the area, rather than providing just an overview. 

Here are a few screenshots to show the level of detail of OS OpenSpace in rural areas, compared to other free map providers.
