The People’s Map is a revolutionary web-based mapping project which enables both professional and private users to create and maintain their own maps from Getmapping aerial photography using simple online editing tools. Newly created data passes through a thorough verification process to ensure that it is accurate and correct before it is added to the final 'verified' People’s Map layer. Rendered in 14 different scales with multiple layers including, admin boundaries, buildings, built up areas, coastline, contours, drainage, land use, place names, points of interest, roads and railways the People’s Map represents an opportunity for people and organisations to produce their own maps free from any concerns about Crown Copyright.
The People’s Map is a Limited Liability Partnership between Aerial Photography suppliers Getmapping Plc, The XYZ Digital Mapping Company and remote sensing specialists Geosense.
