DoctorMap OSNI is created by Dotted Eyes with reference to the Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland (OSNI) 1:50,000 vector data set, made up of vector boundary layers. It consists of the boundaries of the health and social services trusts and boards with Ambulance Trusts, in the form of regions. There is also a layer of hospitals as points.

DoctorMap OSNI technical information
A workspace file (for use in MapInfo Professional GIS) or project file (for use in ESRI ArcView/GIS) opens all the layers and sets zoom layer thresholds that determine when the layers are visible.
The location of boundaries is accurate to within 3m. This is within one pixel on screen at scales of up to 1:10,000.
The Irish Transverse Mercator Grid co-ordinate system is used. The coastline fits closely with RangerMap OSNI (derived from 1:50,000 Scale Raster from OSNI).
The storage space required is about 5Mb for full NI coverage, in MapInfo TAB format.
Main formats available: MapInfo TAB, ESRI SHP, AutoCAD DXF, Illustrator EPS and others.
