Base layer options beyond Bing?
Matthew Hirsch
Can we purchase a google license for their mapping?
Ian Bennett
Hi Matthew,
If you only require GB mapping then I can suggest 2 offerings from Ordnance Survey.
The first is OS Maps API - https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/products/os-maps-api - if you are a public sector organisation this is covered by PSGA, if not there is a limited open plan or subscription.
However if you want an open back drop you could try - https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/products/os-open-zoomstack. Unfortunately not an API and only goes to an approximate scale of 1:10,000 so the detail is good but may not be good enough for your requirements.
If neither of these work for you I would suggest speaking to Europa Technologies.

Hi Matthew,
At Southwark Council we subscribe to the ViaEuropa WMTS from Europa Technologies. You can see it here as the default base mapping in Southwark Maps: https://geomap.southwark.gov.uk/connect/analyst/mobile/#/main
Yes, it’s an extra cost but it does avoid any potential throttling restrictions that can come with extreme uses of the OS Maps API.
Come back to me if you have any other questions.
Thanks,
Stuart

Ah, yes. That would be a problem. As would the other suggestion of OS Maps API.
Thanks,

Thank you for your suggestion. I forgot to mention I am in the United States. That provider does not have coverage in the US unfortunately.
