The Geoinformation Group has announced plans for a large-scale topographic mapping programme.
UKMap is a UK-funded topographic mapping and address database created completely independently of the Ordnance Survey.
Employing more than 100 people across three continents, UKMap forms part of a five-year programme to map more than 500 towns and cities covering all urban areas with a population greater than 10,000 - some 24,000km2 throughout the UK.
London is the first complete UKMap city covering more than 1,700km2 and will be available on 1 September 2009.
Areas to be published in 2010 include the West Midlands conurbation, Merseyside, Manchester and parts of Yorkshire.
UKMap is a highly detailed, feature-rich mapping database, which comprises integrated map layers and attribute tables.
Captured for use at a scale of 1:1,000, UKMap includes buildings with 3D information, road detail including pavements, lane markings, pedestrian crossings and speed humps, a full address gazetteer, inferred property boundaries, land use coding and a range of points of interest.
It also includes aerial photography and terrain layers.
From the outset more than two years ago, an active UKMap forum, comprising industry representatives, has advised on the development of UKMap.
Forum member Alisdair Maclean, GIS manager of the London Borough of Brent, said: 'For the first time, users of large-scale maps will not only have an accurate and feature-rich layered solution, but have it in a format of their choice.' Alun Jones, managing director of The GeoInformation Group, added: 'UKMap also offers choice with innovative licensing and flexibility when it comes to IPR, publishing and online distribution.' UKMap offers new and essential location information, which is capable of supporting professionals within a range of applications, including asset management, flood modelling, highway management, network planning, crime and incident analysis and urban design.
