FAQ

Is MasterMap® accurate enough to support boundary surveys?

MasterMap® provides authoritative large-scale mapping used as a contextual base for boundary and measured surveys, but field verification remains essential.

Are the downloads aligned to the British National Grid?

Yes — all datasets from MapServe® are georeferenced to BNG, ensuring compatibility with GNSS and total station data.

Can I overlay Freehold boundary data for title comparison?

Yes — Freehold overlays can be added to assist with ownership investigations and legal plan preparation.

Do you provide contour data suitable for topographic reporting?

Yes — 1m contour datasets support level analysis and topographic context.

Can I download CAD-ready files immediately for site work?

Yes — DWG and DXF formats are available for instant download after checkout.
