What is Land-Line?
Land-Line is a comprehensive data set depicting man-made and natural features, ranging from houses, factories, roads and rivers to marshland and administrative boundaries. There are almost 229,000 Land-Line tiles covering Great Britain, surveyed and digitised at three different scales according to location: – 1:1250 scale in urban areas; – 1:2500 scale in rural areas; and – 1:10 000 scale for remote areas such as mountains and moorland. This data will be supplied by MapsDirect for Schools in the National Transfer Format which can be imported into most leading GIS software packages commonly being used in UK schools.
