OS data

Written by Cheryl Evans

If you wish to use Ordnance Survey data in your Gatekeeper Farm Mapping module this can come in different forms with different levels of detail.

We recommend that you firstly contact the Gatekeeper Support team on 01594 545022 and request the OS Open data (under a free license) for your farm which we can provide in 10km x 10km tiles. This will provide you with the following features in Gatekeeper Mapping:

  • Administrative Boundary

  • Height

  • Natural Feature Area

  • Natural Feature Line

  • Railway Line

  • Road Line

  • Settlement Area

  • Settlement Line

  • Text

  • Tidal Boundary

Please note this data does not include field boundaries; if you require OS boundary information you will need to purchase Master Map data in either a Shape or DXF format. www.emapsite.com is one of several companies which are able to supply OS data in this format.

All Gatekeeper mapping users have the ability to view a backdrop image (which includes some boundaries) from Bing based on 1:25 000 OS data by selecting the layers icon, ensuring the ‘MS Bing Maps Backdrop’ box is ticked then selecting ‘Ordnance Survey’.
