Enhancing the UK’s Core Data Asset
As part of the Geospatial Commission, we're working with our partners to enhance our 'Core Data Asset' - the data each agency uses to create our varied products and services.
Using crowdsourcing to improve navigational safety
We work with a range of data suppliers to ensure our charts contain the latest safety information. One of these suppliers is the mariners themselves, sending crowdsourced information via our H-Note App.
