What can I do with Digimap?

Digimap Collections offer three key functions:

View, customise and print maps

Our Digimap’s mapping applications make it easy to find a location, browse available maps, customise the map and create a print (A4-A0 paper size). Digimap applications vary between our collections but functions include:

• Basemaps - choose from a selection of map styles.
• Overlays e.g. of postcodes, Points of Interest or terrain data.
• Map Content - select which features to display.
• Data import.
• Drawing Tools.
• Measurement Tools.
• Query maps with our Get Feature Information tool.
• Compare two maps of the same location.
• Add Web Map Services.

Download mapping data

Our download data tab in Digimap offer a straightforward way to download high-quality geospatial data for your project area. Our users typically require map data to create site plans and carry out geospatial analysis. They often combine data from Digimap with data from other sources in software such as Geographical information Systems (GIS) such as ArcGIS or Computer Aided Design (CAD).

Web Map Services

Several collections provide Web Map Services (WMS), which can be used to display mapping images from a Digimap Collection in most GIS software (Geographical information Systems). Within each WMS you are able to select the individual data products/layers you wish to view.
