Available formats for the product

OS Open Greenspace is available in the following formats:

• Geography Markup Language (GML) 3.2.1

• Esri shapefile

• GeoPackage

• Vector tiles (MBTiles)

Coverage and file sizes

Coverage is all of Great Britain (GB).

For the GML and Esri shapefile formats, you can optionally set a custom area corresponding to one or more 100 km² tiles of the OS grid reference.

If you select adjacent 100 km² tiles that include features that cross the tile edge, the whole feature is included in both tiles. You may therefore need to deduplicate your data, depending on its application.
