OS: Ordnance Survey (OS) MasterMap® Sites Layer is a nationally maintained dataset that maps the detailed extent of important locations such as airports, schools, hospitals, ports, utility and infrastructure sites and more. The points of access into these sites (such as a school) from the nearest road network are also provided.
A new OS MasterMap Sites Layer provides customers with an easy way to identify an extent that includes all the real-world features that form part of the function of that school. OS MasterMap Sites Layer has 3 feature types: Functional Sites, Access Points and Routing Points.
OS: Public sector organisations in Scotland will continue to have access to Ordnance Survey mapping data following an agreement between the Scottish Government and OS to renew the One Scotland Mapping Agreement (OSMA).
The new agreement, which went live on 1 April 2013, means that local & central government organisations, as well as Scottish NHS members, can continue to benefit from being part of a single agreement for OS data, used by 112 Scottish public sector organisations.
