Ordnance Survey + Google Maps

Anyone seen this rather nice use of OS's new OpenSpace platform?

http://wheresthepath.googlepages.com/

It looks and works great, but I wish they'd do 25K maps.

Re: Ordnance Survey + Google Maps

Thanks for the links Charles. I tried them but got an error message due to a fetch limit imposed by the OS!  The OS just don't get it.

Re: Ordnance Survey + Google Maps

Hi,

I've recently developed a map using the Multimap API, which, unlike Google maps provides OS Maps.

You can see the map here:

Coed Lleol Map

If you keep zooming in you'll see I've made it default to OS maps as soon as the required zoom factor is reached.

Re: Ordnance Survey + Google Maps

Unfortunately currently if the data is derived from OS underlying base data its not our data to do what we want with. If local government had got their act together in the days of the old SLA we wouldnt be in this silly position now. Where anything we create over the top of OS base maps they can claim a right to.
