Geology Digimap is an EDINA service which delivers geological maps and data to UK Tertiary Education. Geology maps and data from the British Geological Survey (BGS) are available at scales of 1:50,000, 1:250,000 and 1:625,000.
Geology Digimap will be part of the Digimap suite of on-line mapping services. As such, its look and feel will be familiar to existing Digimap users but intuitive to all, regardless of their level of experience with geology maps. Users will be able to view maps through their web browser, save maps for printing and download the geological map data for use in geographical information systems.
