UK Mapping Data - and more to come - under government Open Data measures  Data that's been paid for by the taxpayer should be available to the taxpayer / public. Seems obvious, but it hasn't actually been the case in many instances. But in the last few months, the Government's Open Data measures have been moving us along towards more public availability of data that should be available.It's not quite public domain - so I need to tell you that this map is based on OS data, and point you to a license [here]. But if you read that license, you'll find that I can abstract, adapt, re-use and include in my commercial product without payment of fees, though I must pass on the license or reference to it.  I've put other maps up on our web site too as a demonstration - Big Street map including Melksham - and I've only just started to explore that data that's available ... I'm going to be going on to look at Code Point Open, for example, which includes a mapping for all UK postcodes to OS Grid references. The list of valid postcodes alone will provide an excellent improvement to our validators, and there are all sites of exciting prospects by mapping them on top of the street and other OS maps.(written 2011-12-03) Associated topics are indexed under H309 - PHP - Maps, Graphics and Geographics[3817] Fpdf - generating .pdf documents easily from your PHP program - (2012-07-24) [3734] QR codes with marketing logos embedded - (2012-05-16) [3584] QR codes - graphics images that provide quick phone links - (2012-01-18) [3447] Needle in a haystack - finding the web server overload - (2011-09-18) [3211] Computer Graphics in PHP - World (incoming data) to Pixel (screen) conversion - (2011-03-24) [3197] Finding and diverting image requests from rogue domains - (2011-03-08) [3133] An image from a website that occasionally comes out as hyroglyphics - (2011-01-14) [3027] Server logs - drawing a graph of gathered data - (2010-11-03) [2939] Protecting your images from use out of context - (2010-08-29) [2729] Uploading a document or image to its own URL via a browser - (2010-04-18) [2675] Redirecting to your main domain for correct security keys - (2010-03-13) [2583] Reducing image size on digital photos - PHP - (2010-01-17) [2390] Dynamic / changing images on your web page - (2009-09-01) [2361] Geocoding - converting address to latitude / Longitude with PHP via Google - (2009-08-14) [2343] World Flags in your PHP pages - (2009-08-10) [1956] Images for Christmas - (2008-12-21) [1923] Making it all worthwhile - (2008-12-04) [1756] Ever had One of THOSE mornings? - (2008-08-16) [1752] Dynamic maps / geographics in PHP - (2008-08-13) [1734] All around the world? - (2008-08-03) [1724] addslashes v mysql_real_escape_string in PHP - (2008-07-27) [1628] Gant charts - drawing them with a PHP script - (2008-05-03) [1391] Ordnance Survey Grid Reference to Latitude / Longitude - (2007-10-14) [1390] Converting from postal address to latitude / longitude - (2007-10-13) [1389] Controlling and labelling Google maps via PHP - (2007-10-13) [1194] Drawing hands on a clock face - PHP - (2007-05-19) [1104] Drawing dynamic graphs in PHP - (2007-03-09) [937] Display an image from a MySQL database in a web page via PHP - (2006-11-22) [665] PHP Image viewing application - (2006-04-01) [563] Merging pictures using PHP and GD - (2006-01-13) [320] Ordnance Survey - using a 'Get a map' - (2005-05-22) 5a28
