Hi again - Using OS Topography and Open Data

Hi David,
Universal translator will allow you to do small amounts of data, however it is not easy to maintain updates afterwards. There are other solutions, such as FME or GDAL but which one to use will depend on how you want to store and manage the data in the future.
A second option is to use the OS Maps API, if you are part of the Public Sector Geospatial Agreement (PSGA) you have access to this through the Data Hub. If not you would need to look at the license terms, there is limited free usage. If you are not familiar with the Data Hub details are here, where you will also find the APIS and licensing terms.
Appreciate this is the quick answer and happy to have a direct conversation to go through options in more detail, you can contact me directly on ian.b...@os.uk.
Kind Regards,
Ian

The benefit of the OS Maps API is that you don’t have to worry about styling.
Below is an example of the OS Maps Outdoor WMTS layer.
Here you can read about getting WMTS layers from Ordnance Survey loaded into MapInfo Pro.
If you also need vector data to be able to snap to an existing element for example, you can use the OS Features API to get vector features onto your map.
