What Is an OS 1km x 1km Aerial Photography Tile?
The OS MasterMap® Imagery Layer uses the same aerial imagery that supports Ordnance Survey’s large-scale data updates. Their processing software creates true-orthorectified imagery, removing building lean to deliver a consistent top-down view without geometric distortions.
These aerial photo tiles are widely used for:
- Risk management and analysis
- Planning applications and site mapping
- Property development and land assessment
- Asset management and infrastructure developments
- Agricultural planning and services
- Environmental monitoring and reporting
In addition, the Imagery Layer aligns with the OS MasterMap® Topographical Layer for accurate overlays, and your licence allows unlimited PDF or image outputs from GIS software of any scale.
