Ordnance Survey Ireland (OSI) offers an online map viewer: http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/ Several zoom levels, down to street level. Also includes ortho imagery. You can take screenshots but have to geo-reference them manually. Diagonal corner georeferencing will suffice. Cursor coordinates are shown in the status overlay at the lower left corner. The coordinate system is the new Irish Transverse Mercator. |

A while back I figured out a way of getting on to the ESRI WMS server which allowed direct importation of Irish maps per the WMS method. Unfortunately, when I tried to use it a couple of days ago the service no longer seemed to work. Visiting the ESRI site I could not find any reference or links to directly access the web maps, the whole site seems to have gone up-market and orientated toward business users. I'll keep trying and report back if I stumble on a solution. Failing that, the Irish OS as noted above is still available and Open Street Irish coverage seems better than it used to be, too. |

There are some maps of Ireland now at http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/maps/. These are hosted by the National Library of Scotland (NLS) and they are compatible with Map Tile de-facto standards. The same instructions apply as for "Historic UK": Copy the following code section into a text editor, save as an xml file and import into TransDEM with the Map Tile Client / Settings. There are 2 tile types configured: "Map" for "Bartholomew - Ireland - Quarter Inch to the mile, 1940". 1:250,000. Maximum zoom level 13. "Other 1" for "British War Office - Ireland - One Inch to the mile, 1941-43 - (G.S.G.S. 4136)". 1:63,000, Maximum zoom level 15. Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<TileServer version="1.0" > <Provider name="9 Historic Ireland" > <URL addr="http://geo.nls.uk" prefix="maps/ireland/bartholomew" postfix=".png" standalone="1" type="1" > <Matrix prefixClm="/" prefixRow="/" prefixZoom="/" minZoom="1" maxZoom="18" order="2" /> <Mercator origLat="-90" origLon="-180" signLat="1" signLon="1" projection="4" /> </URL> <URL addr="http://geo.nls.uk" prefix="maps/ireland/gsgs4136" postfix=".png" standalone="1" type="4" > <Matrix prefixClm="/" prefixRow="/" prefixZoom="/" minZoom="1" maxZoom="18" order="2" /> <Mercator origLat="-90" origLon="-180" signLat="1" signLon="1" projection="4" /> </URL> </Provider> </TileServer> |

OK Thanks for setting that all up for me. I can display the maps in the tile server. Now I need to read the next bit of the tutorial on how to get it into Trainz |

Hello Phil. Sorry to bump an old thread but I was hoping to start a new project based in Ireland and I've discovered that there appears to be no opensource geodata available anymore. I tried the NLS and OSI sites. The NLS had no data and the OSI is pay to use. Are you aware of any other sources of free geodata? Regards, Innis |

Has there ever been free geo data? |

Post subject: | Re: Geo Data - Ireland |
Not sure if there has been. I was hoping that the same types of data would be available from OSI as from OS UK. If not, it doesn't matter. Thanks. |

G'day geophil, ...there most certainly was, Roland... G'day PFX72, ...you might find this site still useful... http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,715316,828308,3,10 ...although it does take a little extra work on your part, Innis, to georeference the data (and crop the maps)... Jerker {:)} |

Hi Jerker. That's most useful. I may be back asking for help! Just so I'm clear in my own mind, this will mean I can take the data from the OSI site and apply it as a texture to a flat baseboard only. There is no DEM data that goes with this? Cheers. |

Post subject: | Re: Geo Data - Ireland |
But that's the same data source I opened this thread with, isn't it? It's the screenshot method, though, a small bit of extra work georeferencing yourself. Not the fancy ready to use downloads you'll find for some other countries. But I think it was for those maps that I added the new Irish Transverse Mercator grid to TransDEM. |
