Digimap v2
Having an early play with this today.
A new, improved version 2 of the GA Gold Award winning Digimap for Schools.
A new, improved version 2 of the GA Gold Award winning Digimap for Schools.
Information from Edina.
Digimap for Schools - the definitive global digital atlas for schools
The Digimap for Schools Team are pleased to announce the imminent arrival of a new version of their award winning schools service.
This new version has all the mapping products and functionality Digimap for School users are already familiar with (Ordnance Survey mapping, historical data and aerial photography for GB, drawing tools, image library, webinar and training support), but adds:
Global mapping
- incorporation of the beautiful and authoritative Collins Bartholomew World Panorama product providing a definitive global school atlas
- the same wonderful Ordnance Survey data for Great Britain and beyond GB for the rest of the world, detailed street level mapping from Open Street Map:
An updated and modern intuitive User Interface has been added - this is similar to the one on the DataNation website which is an optional upgrade for schools who don't already have Digimap for Schools perhaps. It also includes a useful additional option to find your location and zoom to it, rather than using the search, or drawing a rectangle as currently.
The new version of Digimap for Schools will be available from November 2019 at http://digimapforschools.edina.ac.uk
Access to the old version will remain available from the same address.
The existing Digimap for Schools version will remain supported until January 2021.
Schools resubscribing to Digimap for Schools before March 2020 will be able to chose between the old version and our new enhanced Global version.
From March 2020 subscribers will only be able to take our new enhanced service.
(Re)subscription will be on a rolling twelve month basis as is the case now. It will not be possible to subscribe to both new and old versions.
As always, the Digimap for Schools Team are happy to respond to any questions or concerns you may have over on the website.
