OS Street View®

OS Street View is street-level, backdrop map data that is specifically designed for online applications, as it can be downloaded quickly from both the Internet and Intranet.
It provides a scanned image of street-level mapping that can be combined with other data in a geographical information system (GIS), enabling you to clearly visualise a wide range of information in a geographical context. The street-level detail of OS Street View makes it particularly useful for displaying specific localities.

Tile supply and change only update

Initial supply of a customer order will include all 5 x 5 km tiles ordered but subsequent updates will only supply those tiles that have changed. If none of the tiles on the customer order form have been updated within a 6 month period, the customer will not receive any tiles.
