Google and Ordnance Survey come to Birmingham

Posted on 5 March 2009 by Oliver Nicholls

Ordnance Survey and Google logos A number of Regional Data & Intelligence Network members have raised concerns about changes to Ordnance Survey’s (OS) terms and conditions, which will limit the sharing of data derived from OS mapping products.

We’ve just been informed of an event being run by The Map Info User group for the UK and Ireland (MUGUKI) next week, to discuss this very issue with representatives from Ordnance Survey and Google.

When? Thursday 12th March 1:30pm to 4pm

Where? The Holiday Inn, Birmingham City Centre, Smallbrook, Queensway, Birmingham, B5 4EW

How much? Non Members (of MUGUKI) – £25 each. Members (of MUGUKI) – Free, with up to 1 guest.

Agenda and booking: Read the agenda and book a place at the event

I’ve just heard that Google have dropped out of the event. Ordnance Survey will be there as well as Michael Cross from Free Our Data campaign.
