Easily access accurate, detailed and updated mapping with MapGenie

MapGenie allows you to connect directly from your desktop or web page to both OSi and Land and Property Services Northern Ireland (LPS) geodatabases via an All-Ireland Web Service, giving you easy and instant access to premium map data at a variety of scales for the entire island of Ireland through a single source.

Who’s using MapGenie?

OSi’s MapGenie can be consumed directly through any OGC compliant GIS software or web application, potentially allowing all members of your organisation to view and use the best map data available, thereby giving you a significant increase in value for money over traditional methods of data delivery.

OSi can (together with our 3rd party developer partners) provide a service to assist you in developing a bespoke web based application that can provide GIS functionality and access to OSi data (thus reducing the complexity and cost of GIS applications and data usage).
