OS OpenMap – Local
OS Open Map – Local (OML) is an open dataset of detailed, street-level mapping of Great Britain. OML provides one of the most detailed generalised open mapping products available and is designed to provide contextual mapping for your applications or web pages. It offers users a clear contextual view of the world whilst also enabling the undertaking of analytical activities.

OS OML can support a wide range of customer applications that utilise geographic information. The product is ideal for providing backdrop mapping on websites and displaying business locations on small-scale 'street level' maps.
Contextual backdrop mapping
The product provides contextual backdrop mapping for your applications or web pages. It contains important buildings, functional sites and greenspace.
Vector version
Vector data map styling is highly customisable to suit your needs; premade stylesheets are also available for Ordnance Survey’s traditional styles.
Raster version
OS OpenMap – Local includes a raster image option, carefully styled according to customer feedback. This is easy to load in a GIS and lets you start analysing data quicker.
Private roads and tracks
To help you navigate around Britain, we’re adding more names, such as those of isolated homes and farms, and roads, both public and private. This detail comes into its own in rural and suburban areas.
