1 Digimap Training Workshops Ordnance Survey Products Aim: to provide support staff with a basic knowledge of Ordnance Survey digital mapping products

2 Digimap Training Workshops Objectives By the end of this session you will: –be familiar with types of Ordnance Survey data products –be able to identify the best product for a particular project –Know which products must be converted to a different format before being used in a GIS

3 Digimap Training Workshops Introduction Ordnance Survey map products can be downloaded from Digimap in a number of different formats for use in various geographical information systems (GIS), drawing, graphics and spreadsheet software Digimap's Data Download Service provides data in numerous formats. Information on each format is given in this presentation

5 Digimap Training Workshops Vector Data A record of the coordinate positions of points and lines which when linked together in a computer provide a representation of the landscape. All points and lines are feature coded Software is required to display, manipulate, customise and plot map images from the data
