OS Mastermap Highways Network® is the Ordnance Survey's latest and most comprehensive dataset of Great Britain's road network and is the next generation of the well-known product OS ITN. It is comprised of a suite of products that brings together the best information from authoritative sources in to one central location.

In addition to road centre lines and classifications, Highways features richer content that is better structured to allow for analysis as well as visualisation. Highways has been designed with traffic analysis, asset management, planning and the emergency services in mind, allowing users to plan for tomorrow. It gives you accurate and precise asset management information on who maintains the road network and the type of surface reinstatement values. And it's a valuable reporting tool, for key facts and statistics about the road, against a consistent and authoritative base.

OS Highways - Roads can be extended using OS Highways - Routing, and OS Highways - Paths

OS Highways - Roads attribution includes:

• road classification, naming and numbering
• vehicle restrictions
• links to OS Addressbase and the USRN
• roads under construction
• public/private maintained roads

​Combining National Land and Property Gazetteer (NLPG) and Royal Mail Postcode Address File (PAF), for the full lifecycle of an address.

AddressBase Premium provides the most detailed view of an address and its life cycle for England, Wales and Scotland. The product contains approximately 40 million addresses, each with UPRN unique identifier. Includes alternative addresses (e.g. where a property known as Rose Cottage is also 23 Acacia Avenue), provisional addresses (proposed planning developments), historic addresses (demolished properties) and objects without a postal address (e.g. places of worship, community centres and utilities).

The new Address products have been produced by GeoPlace, a joint venture between Ordnance Survey and the Local Government Group.

The AddressBase™ Premium product includes the best parts of local government’s National Land and Property Gazetteer (NLPG), Ordnance Survey’s OS MasterMap Address Layer 2 and the Royal Mail Postcode Address File (PAF), plus comprehensive address classification details.

AddressBase™ Premium is the most comprehensive product in the range and is an entirely new concept in the world of addressing for GB. AddressBase™ Premium is a relational database detailing the whole lifecycle of an address from pre-build through completion and successive name changes of businesses. Suitable for use in interrogating for bespoke services, Emapsite can provide access to this valuable dataset through our web services delivery solutions. Please call us for more details​.

The aerial images give added context to features which exist within other (vector) OS MasterMap layers and allow interpretation of other features not identified within the vector datasets. The data is rigorously checked for quality to maintain a consistent standard of both positional accuracy and image quality.

Additionally Ordnance Survey processing software produces true-orthorectified imagery, removing building lean from aerial imagery to give you a consistent top-down view.

Aerial imagery is ideal for checking road markings, tree canopies or site entrances, cutting down the need for site visits, so you can save money and manage time more efficiently.​

Purchasable as both a traditional raster cut-out of a user defined area or as web services.

OS MasterMap Imagery layer® is ideal for:

• Planning
• Site location and evaluation
• Land use classification and analysis
• Transport and infrastructure
• Asset management
• Environmental analysis
• Flood mapping
• 3D visualisation

The OS MasterMap Networks - Water Layer®​ is the only detailed, heighted water network of Great Britain showing the flow and precise course of rivers, streams, lakes and canals.​ 

It offers the most accurate view of all watercourses across the whole of Great Britain created, in collaboration with the Environment Agency and Scottish Environmental Protection Agency, to a consistent specification and update schedule – so it can help support flood risk management decisions and the sharing of information between national and local organisations.

Accurate physical properties of watercourses enable modelling in 2D and 3D like never before, thanks to the clear and detailed information about river flow, gradient and river widths, along with its precisely mapped course.

The data maps a wide range of features, from aqueducts to tunnels with full flow direction and for the first time the network of underground watercourses – inferred from the entry and exit points.

OS MasterMap Networks - Water layer® is ideal for:

Planners, for surveyors, for engineers – this Layer offers the potential to model in 2D and 3D like never before, thanks to the clarity of river flow, gradient and river widths.
