A-Z Superscale 1:7,000

Datasets AZ 7k sample image

Print royalties applicable and available in Raster Format

A-Z mapping is instantly recognisable. The classic A-Z street mapping style uses bright oranges & yellows for A & B roads so that they stand out quickly, minor roads are in white and built up areas are in a light salmon shade. A-Z also uses colour coding to identify the usage of a building. This colouring can help to identify industrial buildings, leisure/recreation, place of interest, shopping centre/market, and hospital/healthcare. Superscale is available for certain city centres, including Central London.

MapVu 1:10,000

Datasets MapVu 10_10k Sample

Print royalties applicable and available in Raster & Vector Format

This street level dataset is perfect for use by those who need base mapping that they can edit, rescale and generally manipulate into what is needed. The mapping itself contains the majority of streets, road type colouring and railway lines. It is often used by designers and printers to create stylised mapping for wall maps or marketing materials. Additionally we have an in-house design team able to style this mapping to your requirement, do not hesitate to contact us regarding this service.

OS Openmap 1:10,000

Datasets OS Openmap_10k Sample

OS Street View shows clear street-level detail, including building outlines, woodland and water on a static map backdrop.

A-Z Street 1:14,000

Datasets AZ_14k Sample

Print royalties applicable and Available in Raster Format

The World Famous A-Z Street mapping has been assiduously restyled and added to by cartographers, which gives it many benefits. Whereas some street mapping misses off street names that won’t fit into small road spaces, the editorial work performed on A-Z data ensures that they are present and that the name is fitted as near to the location as possible. Points of interest, such as schools, museums, parks, hospitals, overland rail & tube lines and stations, etc are, where possible, individually named. Street Indexes can be purchased with this map type, please contact us for further information.
