As the geo-community are attending this week’s AGI conference, it is the perfect time to bring you up to date on everything that’s been happening at Ordnance Survey – and a little bit from the outside world of GI and mapping too.

Our OS Insider newsletter has been printed and handed out to delegates at the conference, and it’s also available online as a PDF. There’s all the latest on our GeoVation Challenges, Digimap for Schools, the Public Sector Mapping Agreement and much more.

If you’re a digital data customer or partner of ours, then you may also be interested in reading about OS Insight. The OS Insight communication channel is designed to engage with our customers and partners about the development of our current and future product portfolio. By working together throughout our product life cycles, we will be able to develop the best products and services to meet our customers’ needs, and to ensure GI software and associated tools are ready to accommodate the product developments once they are released.
