SVG Plugin
for Ordnance Survey
Maps
Our online Ordnance Survey maps have been created using
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). Before you can access these maps, you
will need to download an 'SVG Viewer' (plugin) for your browser. The
Adobe SVG Viewer integrates with your Web browser as a plug-in, allowing
you to interact with SVG images and is required to view Web content that
contains SVG. Our Ordnance Survey maps will currently only work with the
Internet
Explorer browser (Version 5.5+) on Windows 98-XP PCs.

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) was introduced as an open standard by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in 1999 for publishing animation and for interactive applications using vector graphics on the Web. SVG is a text-based graphics language that describes images with vector shapes, text, and embedded raster graphics. SVG files are compact and provide high-quality graphics on the Web, in print, and on resource-limited handeld devices. In addition, SVG supports scripting and animation, so is ideal for interactive, data-driven, personalized graphics. SVG is a royalty-free vendor-neutral open standard developed under the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) Process.
