Thanks John, I have the details for the MapGML tool, if I had the funding Id have already placed an order with you. Id also considered the possibility of getting FME which would no doubt see us right for a number of years no matter what the source data, but again, funding is the issue! Ive not tried ...

Ive been talking with Ordnance Survey with regards to getting the new OS.Highways Network data built for my MapInfo userbase, and have been pointed in the direction of Astun Technologys ...

Hi Marc, Thanks for replying!   Ive spoken with Ian Bennett at OS back in February 2018 and then again today via email. Obviously, OS have to remain impartial as Ive been reminded before, so hes tried to point me in the right direction, only Im still yet to find a viable solution that doesnt involve ...

John, I meant that BEIS had automatically sent our details across to the APGB Consortium along with our PSMA licence number; Im aware that I have to sign the agreement in order to complete the registration, so strictly speaking, were not automatically signed up.   Ive gleaned some detail from the ...

Hi John,   I returned from holiday to find that wed automatically been signed up for the APGB! Seemed like it was all done in rather a hurry?!

Annoyingly it appears I have little option other than to buy a third party tool/package in order to process and translate the data into a usable datalayer, a shame really! I had hoped that the main software providors would be able to offer this ability within their software, afterall, what use is a GIS ...

RE: Has anyone gone through the process of converting OS Highways GML files using MIPro 15/16 FME translator?

Ive played with FME within MapInfo V16 64bit and found that I had to translate each GML file individually and prefix the filenames with the relevant OS tile e.g. SJ8545_TopographicArea in order to place all of the files together into the same folder. Once all of the tiles had been translated into tab ...

Ahh I didnt realise there was an OS Open Code-Point! Typically when Im geocoding Ill use either OS Code-Point or our build of AddressBase Premium, but thought that these datasets may come in useful for none PSMA members? Besides which, its always nice to get something for free?! :-)
