So am I right in thinking the O/S now have to make all their mapping information available to application developers for free?

That could have some very interesting / useful applications, particularly in mapping WW2 relics if you tied in with cptpies database etc.

You can use their API and it is free for any website and will allow you to use up to 50,000 tiles a day. You can also get other maps by downloading the data from the os website including csv files with usefull information in. Yhey will also send you the street level maps if you ask for them, they come on about 10 DVD's.... all free... I have some ideas of some usefull mapping projects, just getting the time to start on them.

Please don't think it's a great idea to map all the derelict places in the country... it's not...

You'll just end up creating a tourist/pikey guide to destruction!

When I lived in Leicestershire the local paper had a house for sale in Shepshed on 'Butt Hole Lane', I rang up the estate agent and asked if it had an uphill garden, he didn't get it and said no, I then asked him if it had a rusty Sheriff's badge on the door, at this point he got it and told me to **** off
