Digimap’s Ordnance Survey Collection
•Roam – fixed scale mapping. Zoom levels, or views. Each view uses an OS data product, the product used will be the one most appropriate for that scale. Print A3, A4 PDF.
•Carto – user selects scale of map. However Carto will not display a product if it is not sensible to do so at the selected scale...e.g. very detailed mapping will not be displayed if the user selects a small scale, say 1:500000. Print A4 to A0 PDF.
