Check product coverage

Many of our map data products are available for the whole of Great Britain. Some only offer partial coverage. You can use the Availability Grid to help you determine the areas where data is available for download in each collection within Digimap. This tool helps you ensure that you do not expect to receive data for areas where it is not available. Not every data product is available for every area. However, please note the following important exceptions:

1. The availability grid is currently not functional for the Geology and Environment collections. Digimap is working on making the grid fully functional for all collections in the future.
2. The Historic collection will show areas of overlapping data for the same data product. Since each County was mapped individually and County boundaries do not follow the regular shape of map sheets, there will be areas of overlap shown in the map sheet boundaries (as shown in the image below). You can read more about this in the table on our Help Pages.

How to Check Availability

1. Open the Download Data Tool within the collection you are exploring.
2. Beside the data you’d like to download, click on the icon with nine connected squares (the availability grid).
3. Areas covered by the data product are shaded on the map window.
