Today was the launch of our new, updated version of Digimap for Schools.

So… what’s new?

We’ve added Global Maps! The authoritative Collins Bartholomew World Panorama map, providing a clear, definitive, global view.  We’ve also added the global, detailed street level mapping from OpenStreetMap.

  • Improved drawing tools.
  • Simple map selector tool.
  • Overlays menu: add global place names, postcodes, British National Grid and the major lines of latitude and latitude/longitude grid.
  • Enhanced printing.
  • Global search gazetteer.
  • Coordinate capture tool.

Here’s a quick video showing some of the changes.
