Hi I do not have any idea about the OS, but can point you towards another service.
If you are looking for a third party Geocoding Service and Mapping service (with some level of accuracy guarantees) then I would recommend you to look at Multimap's API service. I am unsure of all their TOC, but from what I recall you can just by a Geocoding Solution, or the whole deal which includes map tiles, api access, address storage, batch geocoding etc etc. Cheers, Chaitanya On Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 9:24 PM, Duncan McCall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Hi all, > > Wounder if anyone might have some insight to shed on dealing with the > dreaded Ordnance Survey. > > We are licensing some data from the 'Local Data Company' (LDC) in the UK. > > They have business descriptions etc... that are geocoded to OS address > point.
