Digimap Service Alterations

without comments

On 26 January, the Digimap Classic mapping facility in the OS Collection available via the University Portal in the Library & Learning Resources e-library will be removed and will no longer be available for use.

Digimap Roam (released in October 2009) replaces Classic as the standard mapping facility in Digimap OS Collection.  Key features of Roam include: 12 fixed scale map views, click-and-drag navigation or “slippy maps” and enhanced printing options enabling you to generate printable PDF maps in landscape or portrait and A4 or A3 size.  Digimap Roam is a significant improvement on Classic, providing many enhanced futures and an easier to use, more intuitive user interface.

Roam will therefore provide similar outputs to Classic, but will also offer more advanced features. Access is exactly the same via the Portal as for Classic. Other services available through Digimap are unaffected.
