Ordnance Survey - New Innovation Licences Offer Free Access to Mapping Data

The licences, one of which is only half an A4 page in length, have been created specifically to be easy to understand and to offer the chance to test, develop and demonstrate Ordnance Survey data internally or to potential customers without cost.Vanessa Lawrence CB, Ordnance Survey Director General and Chief Executive, comments: “Fostering the innovative use of geographic information for social or commercial benefit is one of the key goals of our new business strategy. The free licences, along with services like OS OpenSpace, reflect our commitment to fulfilling that goal and I should like to encourage anyone interested in experimenting with Ordnance Survey mapping to take advantage of them.” The new licences and free data downloads can be accessed by visiting www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/products/innovations
