- Digimap provides access to mapping data through online mapping tools and data downloads. It has two main mapping tools - Roam for fixed scale mapping and Carto which allows user-selected scales. - Users can view and print maps online or download mapping data for use in GIS/CAD software. A wide range of Ordnance Survey data products are available to download. - Support resources include online help pages, training videos, and eLearning units to help users make maps and work with downloaded data. Site representatives can access usage statistics and discussion forums.

9. Digimap’s Ordnance Survey Collection
•Roam – fixed scale mapping. Zoom levels, or views. Each view uses an
OS data product, the product used will be the one most appropriate for
that scale. Print A3, A4 PDF.
•Carto – user selects scale of map. However Carto will not display a
product if it is not sensible to do so at the selected scale...e.g. very
detailed mapping will not be displayed if the user selects a small scale,
say 1:500000. Print A4 to A0 PDF.
