OS VectorMap Local is a highly-detailed, customisable, street-level map, showing fences, building outlines, paths and street names. The vector format of the product consists of layers to enable you to customise and style the output to suit your needs.
This product is updated quarterly in January, April, July and October.
VectorMap Local is full of rich, detailed mapping attributes and features that improves contextual information and in-depth analysis – especially when compared to alternative data sources.
Prebuilt colour options are available for both vector and raster formats, but vector data is fully customisable. You can design your VML basemap to perfectly suit your needs. This might be to a preferred colour palette, to suit different viewing methods or to highlight features of most interest.
OS VectorMap Local is generated automatically from OS Large Scale Topographic database (used for OS MasterMap Topography Layer), improving currency and consistency to give accurate and reliable real world geographical information.
