Overview

VectorMap District Raster is a mid-scale mapping product for Great Britain that is part of the Ordnance Survey's OpenData range. There are 2860 tiles each covering 10 x 10 km and ranging from 2 to 6.3 Mb in size.

The Raster Data is available in to different versions, Full Colour and Faded Colour.  The faded version is useful as a backdrop map to other datasets whereas the full colour version can be used as a stand alone cartographic map.

Both versions are in GeoTiff format and so are ready to open in GIS software without the need for additional spatial referencing. This information can be lost if you open the Tiff files in older graphics packages.

The dataset includes feature from the following categories:

Buildings; Roads; Surface Water; Boundaries; Railways; Public Amenities; Heritage Sites; Woodland; Rock Outcrops; Power Lines; Place Names; and Spot Heights.

NOTE: There is also a Vector version available from Data Download.
