ARCHINFO is now established as an Ordnance Survey Ireland (OSI) agent for the provision of maps.

This is a computerised database from which seamless mapping for the 6inch, 25inch, 1:5000, 1:2500 and 1:1000 series can be printed and downloaded.

Sites which cross an urban and rural area can be combined in one map. Site centred maps can be printed on paper from A4 to AO size.

The Place Map Series includes over 140 towns and cities mapped at 1:1000 scale, see list.

ARCHINFO supplies OSI mapping in digital formats. Vector mapping can be supplied in dwg file format (dxf files are also available). Raster mapping is available in tiff format.

ARCHINFO supplies OSI maps specifically designed for Land Registration purposes. Land Registry compliant maps show ITM coordinates in the corners of the map. OSi and Land Registry are migrating from the Irish National Grid system to the ITM system on a phased basis. Initially, only a limited number of counties require ITM maps. Digital mapping in ITM projection can also be supplied for Land Registry purposes.
