Dear Luke, thank you for your feedback—we're really pleased to hear you’re happy with the service overall. We completely understand the frustration around view limits. These are necessary due to royalty restrictions set by the data licensors. That said, it's worth noting that MapServe is one of the few providers that still offers free previews of OS MasterMap data—many others charge just to view it. We’re committed to keeping our service as accessible and cost-effective as possible, and we truly appreciate your continued support.
Thank you for your fantastic review, Max! We're so glad to hear that you found our service easy and simple to use. We're looking forward to having you back again soon!
Warm wishes,
Team MapServe

“Very good service. Only one complaint, I was not able to use your service once as I had run out of previews. I was able to get this resolved after an email. I do hope that this will not be a recurring issue.”
Thank you for your thoughtful review, David! We're glad to hear you were satisfied with our service and appreciate your patience in resolving the previews issue. We need to limit previews due to royalty reasons but if that happens please get in touch and we'll be happy to assist you.

“Overall I am quite happy with the service. Starting out the website isnt the particularly logical to use and I mistakely purchased drawings in the wrong format. After a few goes it got easier. I have experienced a few glitches recently to do with searching using grid refs / latitude and logitude coordinates and also postcodes. I have been receiving blank previews and had to search using another option from the pull down menu. This often gives areas outside of the area I require and I cant move the map to the desired location due to the restriction in field of view for that search area. Using other search options to grid reference is not always possible as a lot of the sites I need mapping for are rural or remote without place names, addresses, post codes, etc.
A bigger concern is the price of mapping, although cost is payable by our clients they always comment on how much the maps are! This has meant that we have had to reword our estimates and quotes stating likely costs of associated mapping as these are in some cases very expensive. An area with virtually no linework or annotations costs the same as an area with loads of information....Does this have to be the case? Rural mapping may cost proportionally less than urban mapping or vice versa...Does this have to be the case? Also what constitutes urban mapping and what constitutes rural mapping?
Thanks.”
Thanks for your feedback, Alex. We're glad you're generally happy with the service.
Some of the issues you’ve raised—like format selection and coordinate searches—often come down to input specifics. That said, we’re continuously improving the interface and reviewing recent glitches you've mentioned to ensure smooth use, especially for rural sites.
Regarding pricing, mapping costs are set by Ordnance Survey and apply uniformly regardless of detail level, which can seem disproportionate in less dense areas.
If you need any help using specific tools or selecting formats, feel free to reach out to support@mapserve.co.uk.
