OS Open Roads coverage

OS Open Roads is available to download as a national set. The product has been split into 100km² so you can work with the specific area you require easily.

In-vehicle navigation requirements

OS Open Roads is not suitable for use for in-vehicle navigation systems. For the route restriction information that your users would need (such as one-way systems, width and height restrictions), we recommend using the OS MasterMap Highways Network – Routing and Asset Management Information (RAMI) product instead.
