Legal Deposit Libraries OS Map Viewer live
Today the OS Map Viewer application developed for the Legal Deposit Libraries went live. The hosted application allows members of the public to view national cover of Ordnance Survey large-scale digital map data for the last eight years (Land-Line 1998-2005, OS MasterMap 2006). Access to the OS Map Viewer is available from within a reading room of one of the six legal deposit libraries throughout the UK and Ireland.
A number of new features have gone into the application including the ability to display two synchronized maps side by side and an AJAX print preview which allows the user to print to scale and adjust the map view by panning while in the print preview. A number of these features are scheduled for the next release of ResponseMX (2.6 due in Feb.).
See the case studies section for more details and some screen shots.
