Georeferencing, Land and Sea tiles
Land tiles – zipped Esri shape files
Our land tiles complete land areas at each zoom level, as required. They define the spatial extents of each product, so you can apply a background colour of your choice to areas of the map that are not covered by Tidal Water.
Sea tiles (Full colour)
Our free 5km x 5km sea tiles and supporting TIFF World Files are free to download and let you complete sea areas at each zoom level as required. OS VectorMap District sea tiles are geo-tagged, so they don't require additional world files.
