Ordnance Survey Britain’s National Mapping Agency, helping you more 📍🗺️ As Britain’s mapping agency, we provide information that’s vital to the nation’s wellbeing.

We work with governments, private industry, and individuals alike, since the data we produce touches and connects the lives of everyone in the country. We make seven updates every minute of every day, mirroring our constantly changing landscape. The information we gather enables us to generate content that helps keep our nation, economy and infrastructure moving, but also provide our surveying expertise to countries around the world. We are adventurous in the digital age, incisive in providing simple solutions to complex problems, restless because we know our work is never done, and true because we understand the importance of accuracy. In short, we help others in finding a way.
