Desktop Mapping
Desktop mapping is the ideal solution for customers who want to organise maps and data in their own time and at their own premises. Once configured you can access the Ordnance Survey Mapping and Data Centre database and purchase maps through your desktop.
For more information on Ordnance Survey Desktop Mapping, please contact the National Map Centre’s technical support team on 0845 603 6337. They will be more than happy to guide you through the setup process and, once passwords have been issued, will put you back in contact with your local Business Partner for ongoing support.
