DIGITAL MAPS
• The Ordnance Survey is now marketing its mapping information in a digital form, and says that it can be used for route and strategic planning.
All the information on the OS 1:625,000 (1 inch: 10 miles) UK Routeplanner map is contained in a digital form on two magnetic tape cassettes, one showing the waterways and the other showing towns and roads. This information can be displayed on a colour monitor and, because of its digital basis, any aspect can be extracted and analysed.
The river and canal Dataset tape costs 22,500 plus VAT and the towns and roads Dataset is 25,000 plus VAT. Further information about the Ordnance Survey's digital mapping can be obtained from the OS in Southampton on 0703 792773.
