Event Details
Digimap is an online map and data delivery service run by EDINA at the University of Edinburgh. Digimap enables you to access, draw, print and download digital map data from current and historic UK collections. Our subscription also includes land cover, geological, marine and aerial maps, plus Lidar data.
Through Digimap you can access and draw maps to different scales, and download geospatial data to reuse in other software packages e.g. CAD and GIS software. This session will be an introduction to the different functions and services available from Digimap.
Other online map products are available and the session will also compare and contrast Digimap with JISC Geospatial Data, a new competitor product also available at our institution.

- be registered with and know how to access Digimap from any location
