Ordnance Survey
Ordnance Survey is an executive agency of the UK government. It is one of the world's largest producers of maps and the recognised market leader in the field. In existence for more than 200 years, Ordnance Survey has been a constant source of accurate, reliable and detailed geographic information. With such a rich heritage, Ordnance Survey are committed to leading the way in the future, with particular emphasis on technological innovation. For example, the Ordnance Survey geographic data used in the original triangulation methods of mapping is now linked to modern measurement systems including GPS. Ordnance Survey's range of Explorer, Landranger, Route and Tour maps, which detail Great Britain at a range of specific scales, are the most commonly used maps in the areas which they cover.
