From: Activate 09 summit hears calls for more free data access

It is “totally unacceptable” for Ordnance Survey not to provide maps suitable for the digital economy, said former Cabinet Office minister Tom Watson at the Guardian’s Activate 09 summit - part-sponsored by Ordnance Survey - last week.

Thank you Mr Watson.

It’s not only landmarks and historical sites…

Multimap.co.uk doesn’t know that there’s a Kennington in London.

Multimap.co.uk doesn’t know that there’s a Vauxhall in London either.
