1:25 000 Scale Colour Raster is the digital form of the OS Explorer Map. The detailed representation of the countryside makes it particularly helpful if you want to analyse the environment in a rural area. You can also use it as a backdrop map to add a geographical context to your own information, such as showing customers where your shops are. At scales smaller than 1:35,000 OS Vector Map District is displayed to provide a national context to the dataset.
