Sitemap DXF? is the format of highly-detailed, layered mapping data which is primarily used by the architectural industry. The format is vector based which enables limitless scaling & plotting without loss of clarity and enables the user to integrate their plans & designs directly into the mapping.
The format is derived from Ordnance Survey?s National Topographic Database (NTD), which holds more than 200 million individual features of the British landscape, creating a seamless computer map of Great Britain which receives 5000+ updates daily.

Ordnance Survey (OS) is Great Britain's national mapping agency, providing the most reliable, accurate and up-to-date mapping data available on the market. Ordnance Survey maps form the basis of almost all British Mapping products and so are used in one way or another by almost everyone in the UK on a daily basis. If you plan to go anywhere, especially into the great outdoors away from the cities, it is recommended that you take a good, up to date walking map. You'll also discover many things you didn't know about in your own neighbourhood on an Ordnance Survey Map.
OS maps are available as folded paper versions straight off the shelf. Many are also available as laminated waterproof (Active Map) versions which last many more years than the paper versions & allow the user to mark the map in pencil which can then be erased easily later.
OS's range of leisure maps are published in a variety of scales:
OS Tour Maps (1:100,000 scale) – These usually cover a county-sized area, show major and many minor roads and contain tourist information & selected footpaths. Tour maps have sky-blue covers.
OS Landranger Maps (1:50,000 scale) – The general purpose leisure map. Landrangers have pink covers & 204 sheets cover the whole of Great Britain & the Isle of Man. The map shows all footpaths and have a standard size coverage of 40km by 40km.
OS Explorer & Outdoor Leisure maps (1:25,000 scale) – Specifically designed for walkers and cyclists. They have orange covers with 403 sheets covering the whole of Great Britain. Explorer maps are the most detailed leisure maps that Ordnance Survey publish. Area coverage for each map does vary as some are single sided sheets & others double sided. The Outdoor Leisure series are all double sided & complement the OS Explorer Maps, showing areas of greater interest such as National Park areas in England and Wales with an enlarged area coverage.
OS Explorer Active map (1:25,000 scale) – The OS Explorer & Outdoor Leisure maps available as a plastic-laminated waterproof version. Fully waterproof & tearproof with the laminate being bonded to the paper.
OS Select (Explorer 1:25,000 or Landranger 1:50,000 scale) – Ever found that the place you want to go to is on the edge of a map? OS Select is a bespoke product that allows you to choose the centre point & personalise it with a title & subtitle. Landranger coverage is the standard 40km by 40km, Explorer coverage is 20km by 20km & they can be produced folded or flat.
OS also map the country in incredible detail and this map is known as the OS Mastermap. This is used to derive all 'Large-scale' products such as Sitemap & Landplan which are generally used in planning processes.
Ordnance Survey was formed in 1791. Scottish rebellion and war with France lead the English to realise the strategic significance of accurate maps. Amid fears of the French Revolution spreading across the English Channel the government ordered the Board of Ordnance to commence a survey of the southern coastline. Within 20 years around a third of England & Wales was mapped to the scale of 1 inch to the mile. Necessity for more detailed maps throughout the following decades resulted in surveys at 6 inches to the mile & then 25 inches to the mile, the latter completed in 1895. In the 20th Century Ordnance Survey returned to its militaristic roots by contributing significantly allied efforts in the two World Wars. In more recent years there has been a revolution in the way in which map data is gathered. In 1995 Britain became the first country in the world to complete its large-scale electronic mapping database.
OS are now one of the world's largest producers of maps. Whatever you do in the great outdoors ensure that it is accompanied by an OS map!
