EDINA Digimap OpenStream API

The service provides web-based mapping using OpenData products from the U.K. Ordnance Survey. Options include overview and miniscale maps of Great Britain, color raster images at a resolution of 1:250000, vector images of district and jurisdiction boundaries, and streetview. OpenStream maps can be embedded in web pages via Javascript and incorporated in Google Earth and desktop GIS packages.

API methods support generation of a map for a location specified by spatial reference service (SRS) coordinates and bounding box coordinates. Methods allow choice of image file format (PNG, JPG, GIF), layers, and display size by width and height.
