September 2025

This document details the data enhancements that are included within the September 2025 release of PointX data. PointX continually strives to improve its data holdings and this document highlights the specific changes made for the September 2025 release.

Improved data holdings

AddressBase Core and OS MasterMap Highways Network

AddressBase Core and OS MasterMap Highways Network updated to the July 2025 versions.

UPRN

Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN) population has slightly increased to 49.19% and the population of the UPRN priority classes has decreased to 87.97% UPRN. This is largely due to the introduction of Public Electric Vehicle Charging Locations which do not contain UPRNs.

Further information on UPRN priorities can be found in the user guide available on the PointX website (see Downloads > User Guide on that website).

Fuel Station Supplier provenance

Following the acquisition of the Experian / Catalist fuel station data by Green Street Advisor (UK) Ltd the provenance of that data (including associated Car Washes and Stores) will now be given as Green Street Advisor (UK) Ltd, this is reflected in the order documentation. Please note that all licencing terms from Experian / Catalist have been novated to the Green Street supply.

Public EV Charger locations

PointX have added publicly accessible electric vehicle charging locations to future orders beginning with the September 2025 release. These have been added with a new PointX Classification Code of 10540832 which has a description of "Public Electric Vehicle Charging Locations" and a new provenance of "Zapmap". A number of the PointX order documents have been updated to reflect the inclusion of this new data and classification.

For contractual reasons, this data may only be sold to members of the Public Sector Mapping Agreement (PSGA).

Airports and Landing Strips

Airports and Landing Strips had previously been missing from the PointX class to SIC.txt file. This has now been re-introduced and will continue to be included for future releases.

USRN lookup

PointX are intending to introduce a new lookup text file for the USRN_MATCH_INDICATOR attribute for future orders, starting with the December 2025 release.

Latitude and Longitude

As mentioned in the December release note, PointX have shared their intention to include Latitude and Longitude within Points of Interest, along with the existing British National Grid References.

There are currently no plans to include Latitude and Longitude in the Points of Interest product available from Ordnance Survey. If including them would be helpful for you, please reach out to our Products team at: [email protected]

PointX continues to use a URL reputation service to identify and remove any potentially malicious URLs from the product. However, it is recommended that the guidance as described in the user guide is followed in respect of the contents of the URL attribute.
