Colour Raster Map product family

The OS Colour Raster Map product family includes three products:

The 1:25 000 Scale Colour Raster data product mirrors the OS Explorer Map series of products. At this scale, users can get a detailed overview of environmental and leisure features across Great Britain.

The 1:50 000 Scale Colour Raster data product mirrors the OS Landranger Map series of products. As a mid-scale data product, it is well-suited to navigation applications, contextualising location-based data, or as a map in its own right.

The 1:250 000 Scale Colour Raster data product is a small-scale digital raster mapping product that provides a regional view of Great Britain similar in content and appearance to a traditional road atlas.
