The agreement covers a project licence for Isle of Man Digital Map Data and the Isle of Man Spatial Data in DXF or Esri compatible Geodatabase formats, and other derived datasets.
Sample maps are available to view on the Isle of Man website
Higher Education, Further Education in the UK and Republic of Ireland and Associated Sites
The Isle of Man Government, in order to further its commitment to education generally, is interested in forming partnerships with academic institutions wishing to perform research on the Island. It has therefore agreed to make its complete set of digital maps available to academic institutions in the UK, Isle of Man and Ireland.
Owner: Isle of Man Government, Department of Infrastructure.
Isle of Man Digital Map Data and the Isle of Man Spatial Data in DXF or Esri compatible Geodatabase formats, and other derived datasets.
The scales adopted are 1:1250 for major urban areas and 1:2500 for the remainder of the Island, including the upland areas. The sea boundary up to a 12 mile limit has been surveyed at a scale of 1:50000. There is also a 1:10000 scale coverage of the entire island derived from the larger scale mapping with the addition of contour information.
The data is contained in a total of 800 map tiles.
Core data have been created for use in Isle of Man applications. The basemap tiles are available in DXF or Esri compatible Geodatabase formats. A Street Gazetteer, based on specification contained in BS7666, is available. This has been developed in ArcInfo but can be readily output in a format for incorporation in non-Esri applications.
An Address Gazetteer has been created containing geo-referenced property information for the entire Island.
