Tile locator

When you order OS VectorMap District and OS Street View, you will be asked to order by 100km area.

When you receive the data, you will notice that it is broken down into 10km tiles for OS VectorMap District and 5km tiles for OS Street View. It can therefore be difficult to establish exactly what tile(s) you need to access to look at your area of interest.

To help you know which tiles you will need to access, we have created a PDF document for each 100km tile of data in the National Grid showing the 10km tile grids on top. This will help you to quickly establish the tile(s) of data relevant to you. Simply click on a tile reference above to open the PDF.
