The prime minister said that by April he hoped a consultation would be completed on the free provision of Ordnance Survey maps down to a scale of 1:10,000, (not the scale of a typical Landranger map set at 1:25,000).The online maps would be free to all, including commercial users who, previously, had to acquire expensive and restrictive licences at £5,000 per usage, a fee many entrepreneurs felt was too high.
If it actually happens this could be great news - I'm presuming the online facility will be a total overhaul of the limited service currently on offer. Who knows, maybe even downloadable maps?
The availability of the 1:10k maps sounds fun too.
