While traditional uses of National Mapping Agencies products have focused on the map as a contextual reference, today´s uses of the products are much more diverse. These changing needs require producers of geographic data to rethink the way they customize their spatial information to make it appropriate for all users. In response to these challenges Ordnance Survey is modernizing its approach to users of their data. Data from any national mapping agency is only one geography of many geographies that is needed by customers to make important evidenced based decisions.
