I recently became aware that Ordnance Survey is now not allowing for any OS derived data to be displayed on Google Maps as they do not want to allow Google to have perpetual user rights on their data. I am aware that many Local Authorities are either using Google Maps as a inter/intranet mapping API or are moving toward implementing Google Maps. This move by OS will stop the use of Google Maps in Local Authority websites, if the data to be displayed is OS derived. So, why not consider using the Peoples Map API instead?
The benefits of using the Peoples Map API:
1) Allow you to display OS derived data
2) The ability to edit the map data and therefore change/customize the rendered map displayed in the API.
3) All map data displayed in the Peoples Map API is verified by a team of professional cartographers.
If you are looking for an alternative Map API, that will allow you to display OS derived data, without giving away any user rights; and gives you the ability to edit the base map data, please contact us at info@peoplesmap.com for further information. We are more than happy to contact you to discuss how the Peoples Map work and what we are planning for the future. Otherwise, please have a browse through our website at http://www.peoplesmap.com/ and let us know if we can be of any further assistance.
