What OS Open Zoomstack provides you with

A single data file

There’s no need to crunch 1000’s of data files – we’ve done it for you. The data is available in just one single file. It’s provided in easy-to-use formats to help you get started quickly.

High-definition mapping

Vector Map Tiles contain actual data and not just images, which can be interrogated and analysed. The high-definition mapping also renders quickly, giving a seamless experience.

National coverage

OS Open Zoomstack gives you consistent mapping content across the whole of Great Britain. Zoom out for an overview or zoom in to get street level detail. From the Scilly Isles to Shetland you get a seamless mapping experience.

Variety of mapping features
