The Digimap Collections
The EDINA Digimap Service is an on-line service that provides access to a variety of maps and geospatial data covering Great Britain.
The University of Portsmouth subscribes to the following collections:
Ordnance Survey lets you view and annotate OS maps and print them at user defined scales onto paper sizes up to A0. You can also download multiple OS data products for use in GIS/CAD.
Historic provides access to Ordnance Survey historic maps of Great Britain, including:
- all available County Series maps at 1:2,500 and 1:10560 scales published between 1843 and 1939
- all available National Grid maps at 1:1,250, 1:2,500 and 1:10560/10,000 scales published from 1945 and before the introduction of the OS digital mapping.
Geology allows you to view, create and annotate geological maps and download data to CAD/GIS.
Marine offers a range of hydrographic map and data products, including Admiralty Charts, from SeaZone.
Environment brings easy access to Land Cover data from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology.
Aerial offers 25cm resolution vertical aerial photography from Getmapping – the most detailed national coverage available.
Lidar gives access to digital terrain, surface model and point cloud data, plus additional vertical aerial imagery including near infra-red and night time imagery.
Gobal primarily provides world mapping content from OpenStreetMap, but also includes data from Natural Earth and Collins Bartholomew.
Society provides any easy way to visualise Census 2011 datasets.

Verisk data consists of UKMap, a modern, highly detailed, feature-rich mapping database of Greater London; UKBuildings a unique database created and regularly updated to help you understand the age, structure, characteristics and use, of commercial, public and residential buildings across GB; UKLand a maintained, national land information database providing a detailed consistent breakdown of the use of land across the UK.
agCensus offers access to a time-series database of grid square based data derived from the regular Agricultural Censuses of England, Scotland and Wales.
