Map of Future


An incredible three-dimensional map made from 700 million individual points of light is the latest step in a geography revolution unfolding on the south coast.

Ordnance Survey has been trialling the use of incredibly accurate lasers to create a spectacularly detailed map that could change the way the national mapping agency works and transform the way we think of maps forever.

The trials have been carried out in Bournemouth, with the town centre captured in startling detail.
