Stanfords offer 3 distinctive online services:
Stanfords Portal for planning application maps, large scale vector map data (dxf/dwg/shapefile), height data, and aerial imagery.
Stanfords GIS for property asset management. Acts as a hosting service for your own datasets or a delivery tool for your own services.
Desktop Mapping for customers requiring Ordnance Survey vector map products under the Plan Design Build Licence (PDB) only.
Whilst product information can be found on the relevant product page, we have created a separate Userguides page to support all our self-serve customers. If you require telephone support please contact our Service Centre on 0845 880 3730 between 9.00 a.m and 6 p.m monday to friday.
Userguides
Click here for a general introduction to the Stanfords Portal system. User manuals are available for download on our userguides page.
This page is designed to provide our customers with a range of support documentation that best suits their individual requirements. To that end we have, where relevant, included both a brief, simplied text version with line by line commands and a full user manual containing screenshots and descriptions.
There are 4 ways to search for the property/ site that you require so we have included a separate guide for this process. All 4 methods are available irrespective of which product you eventually choose although it would be unusual to upload a shapefile to define a planning application map for instance.
