The Ordnance Survey, as part of its OpenData™ program has created an OS Open Space area which allows for the incorporation of OS maps on web pages. Please try out our open space area.
Numerous other WMS servers are available on the internet, we'll try and include links to these as we find them, but here's some to tide you over:
KAS Software Ltd was founded in 1997 as a single-contractor limited company to carry out a software engineer/systems development contract for a Scottish electricity generation company. KAS Software later diversified into Windows software, the first product of which was the MapView program for displaying Ordnance Survey maps of Great Britain in a seamless manner, which has since morphed into the free map digital raster map viewing program referred to above.
The following is a brief outline of the non-mapping skillbase of the company.
The company has by now accrued over eighteen years experience in configuring and developing applications for the Rtap/Plus SCADA package, primarily on HP-UX and Solaris, but laterly on Windows-NT and most recently Linux.
This has involved all aspects of RTAP configuration, data acquisition, user-interface design, programing and integration with external systems. Applications that have been developed by KAS Software Ltd include scan tasks for Solartron IMPs, Modbus, Fluke, Iris and Ferranti Mk2 RTUs; data acquisition from external systems using non-scan task processes, such as for Ferranti Argus 700s; calculation engine functions; peridiodic calculations that could not be performed by the calculation engine; Motif control panels; database conversion and configuration; alarm display; data exporting to external systems; and the interfacing of Rtap databases to the Picasso-3 and SL-GMS graphical application packages.
The Picasso-3 graphical package has a substantial pedigree in industrial installations worldwide. Its easy configuration and nicely human-readable picture description language makes it particularily suitable for converting existing bespoke graphical languages into one that can run on both UNIX and Windows platforms.
SL-GMS (the SL Graphical Modeling System) is a 2D graphics software development tool that creates animated interface screens for the display and management of dynamic data.
KAS Software has experience in the deployment of Picasso-3 in a Solaris environment, and in SL-GMS on Solaris and Windows-NT platforms.

Development of our MapView program has necessitated the generation of code for converting and transforming coordinates (for the difference read Co-ordinate Conversions and Transformations including Formulas, OGP guidance note 7, part 2), including the OSTN02 transformation, NADCON, NTv2, NTF and many other TLAs & MLAs. If you require code or bespoke programs, we may be able to help.
