Even though we update our mapping data throughout the year we still make a large number of changes over the summer.
Along with the general updates to MasterMap and a few other products the biggest change over the summer has been to swap the 1:10 000 Scale Raster maps to VectorMap Local Raster maps in Digimap Roam. Ordnance Survey have retired the 1:10 000 data, so we have removed it from the online maps, though you do still have a couple of options if you are a fan of the product:
- You can view the VectorMap Local data styled to look like the 1:10 000 maps at two zoom levels in Roam; remember that on the Map Content tab you can remove the contours for a very close representation of the mapping.
- We still make the 1:10 000 data available in Digimap’s Data Download interface, and will continue to do so for at least this academic year.
The table below details all of the latest changes we have made showing the currency dates of all Ordnance Survey datasets in Digimap.
