They contain very decent shapes/contours of buildings. I would like to work with a layer like that to be able to compare with aerial imagery.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">The community map of Welwyn Hatfield gives Ordnance Survey as the source. I have sent a request to OS if they'd be willing to share the data used for the community maps, because that will be a massive aid in my current mapping project.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Has anyone had any experience with this, and what OS's stance on this is?</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Cheers,<br>Luciën aka Lachgast<br></div></div></body></html>
