News: The Ordnance Survey have 4,000,000 POIs for you!!!

Ordnance Survey POIs A couple of weeks ago we were invited to the Southampton headquarters of the Ordnance Survey to discuss points of interest. Now as the Ordnance Survey are the premier mapping authority for the UK we thought it would be rude not to go...

The guys at the OS don't just get the roads and contours on the maps they also survey buildings and manage addresses. The business group that we were invited to visit are responsible for maintaining the Points of Interest (POI) database for the UK. Which brings me nicely to the point of this article. The OS have millions of Points of Interest in the UK and want to find out if you guys are interested in them...

Is the Ordnance Survey POI data useful to consumers rather than corporates? And how much is a reasonable cost to access and use it?

So now here is your chance to influence the Ordnance Survey and help them formulate a plan to release this data for use by the general public. Complete the poll to have your say and let the OS know how you might use the POI datasets and how much (if anything) you would be prepared to pay for them.
