Location Intelligence

Ordnance Survey now provide regular updates to their latest digital geodata products - some of the most accurate and comprehensive datasets available in the world.
Businesses often rely on Postcode locations, and an easy match to the postcode will quickly locate to any of the 1.7 million postcodes in the UK, updated monthly. Yet a postcode covers, on average, 15 properties - often more - and that can cover up to 5km in rural areas. If you are in need of accurate property locations, then the OS have the 34 million address data locations, and these are updated weekly - if you can keep up with that.
Not just a dot on the map! The OS National Geographic Database now contains more attribution about addresses, roads, transport, buildings, land use, water features, structures, etc. than ever before. More and more businesses are finding the worth in gaining location intelligence from their data and the competitive landscape.
