NEXTMap Britain 5m DSM data

Promap provides the industry benchmark for elevation data, accuracy and affordability with NEXTMap Britain's high density topographical data, covering England, Wales and Scotland.

Using airborne RADAR technology the ground surface has been modelled in detail with elevation points provided every five meters. The measurements are derived from the return signals received that bounce off the first surface they strike, making the DSM a representation of any object large enough to be resolved. These include buildings, vegetation, and roads, as well as natural terrain features.

Height Data - DSM
  • Accurate to within +/-1 metre, the height data is ideal for architects, engineers and consultants to use within CAD packages and can be accurately overlaid with other layers of mapping and aerial photography
  • Coverage totalling 231,236 km², the survey covers England, Wales and Scotland.
  • The most convenient and cost effective pricing in the market, by packaging the data with OS Landline® or MasterMap® DXF exports in your desired shape
  • 40p per hectare with a minimum order of £10
