Overview

Note: This dataset is no longer updated. Meridian™ 2 was withdrawn by Ordnance Survey as of March 2017. OS VectorMap® District is recommended as a suitable alternative.

Meridian 2 is a district based dataset useful for activities such as decision making in planning. It is a geometrically structured vector database customised from a variety of Ordnance Survey data sets that define the real world geographic entities (objects) as point and line features. Each feature consists of geometric and attribute data. A key feature is the detailed road network.  Meridian comprises seven layers:

  • Roads
  • Railways
  • Administrative areas
  • Urban area extents
  • Hydrology
  • Woodland area extents
  • Cartographic names
