Topic: Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland


  
  Ordnance Survey Ireland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ordnance Survey Ireland (OSI; Irish: Suirbhéireacht Ordanáis na hÉireann) is the mapping agency in the Republic of Ireland.
Together with the Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland, it is the post-1922 successor to the Irish division of the United Kingdom Ordnance Survey.
The Irish Survey was established in 1824, along similar lines to the Ordnance Survey in Great Britain, to provide a highly detailed (1:10560, 6 inches to 1 mile) survey of the whole of the island of Ireland, a key element in the process of equalising local taxation.

 Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland (OSNI) is the official mapping agency of Northern Ireland, a part of the United Kingdom.
The three Ordnance Surveys of Britain and Ireland share a common heritage, the split into three separate organisations being the result of the partition of Ireland in the 1920s.
The vast majority of OSNI's income comes from the licensing of its digital mapping data, which, because of the long history of mapping in Ireland (see Ordnance Survey) is amongst the most detailed and comprehensive in the world.

Ordnance Survey of Ireland (OSI) on 1st April 1922.
Ordnance Survey of Great Britain usually refer to themselves simply as "Ordnance Survey" (which is to some degree understandable as they are the biggest of the three organisations) but this can lead to confusion amongst mapping users.
One major difference is that maps in Ireland (North and South) use the Irish Grid while GB use the National Grid.

 Leica Geosystems - SIS & Leica Geosystems awarded GPS Network by Ordnance Survey Ireland
Leica Geosystems, and its partner in Ireland, Survey Instrument Services (SIS), are pleased to announce that they have been awarded a major contract by Ordnance Survey Ireland (OSi) for ‘The design, provision, installation and ongoing support and maintenance of a Real Time, centimetric-accuracy GPS Network for Ireland’.
Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland (OSNI) had options to purchase systems within this process and Leica Geosystems who already provide the GPS infrastructure for post-processing Active Networks in both the Republic and Northern Ireland took both the OSi and the OSNI GPS networks fully into account during the competitive tender.
The opportunity to join with OSNI's existing network makes the transition to an all-Ireland RTK network efficient in terms of the number of base stations required and gives a homogeneous positioning system across the whole of Ireland.” Dick Kirwan, Chief Executive of Ordnance Survey Ireland.
