mj1888 Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 I was wondering if anyone knows where i would be able to download OS MAP blocks to use for a drawing for my university dissertation. I was planning to use Digimaps but that is nolonger available through my university. Does anyone know where i could download some blocks ? Thanks Quote
designerstuart Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 are you willing to pay?! free maps are hard to come by..... (universities pay for digimaps etc.) Quote
mj1888 Posted October 14, 2010 Author Posted October 14, 2010 It would depend on cost. Do you know of any sources I could use covering the Glasgow area? Quote
designerstuart Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 can't remember the one i use, but digimap, promap and getmapping all do chunks of the uk for about 30 bucks a hit. Quote
br0604bom Posted October 16, 2010 Posted October 16, 2010 what exact area are you looking for mj? Quote
cassiepomme Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Free maps for GIS users are now available from Ordnance Survey... The only way I have managed to get them into AutoCAD is by downloading a free trail version of ESRIs ArcGIS Map (allow a couple of days to follow process). Then, drag from ArcCataolgue (right panel) to the open map (left panel), then right click, Export, Export to CAD. Then, all the .prj data is saved into the .dwg (Don't ask me how)!!!!! However, I know at work they use AutoCAD 3D Map and can import the .dwg with paid for OS data. But then again they pay for every OS block! Hope that's useful, because I have been looking for the same answer for the past 4 weeks online... Quote
