Very handy for checking what height your house is! I've just found out that my weatherstation is 85m ASL , not the 93m I thought :eek:

While I don't see the relevance to this thread, its the best quality OS maps I've seen, and its got the better quality satellite photos, so good, I can see the swans on my pond!!:eek:

That find deserves a thread of its own Danno, excellent find. I am moving to a house on a hill soon which has the same height as yours. 85m. Will be interesting to compare data when I get set up.

Ps. Thanks to Snowbie for the guidence.

lostexpectation

its not new, but its interesting how the snaps were taken at different times, is there weather fauna lovers crossover?

I'm a bit slow this morning but I cannot see where it tells you the height, can you tell me please?

Stunning map that. I cuold see my dog taking a dump on the neighbours lawn there.

Danno

Each different level of zoom contains variable detail. With a good eye you can zoom to "City Level" in your area to find your ASL within 10 metres. However, if you live in a large urban area (grey areas) the ASL is unreadable, but it is good for us country folk.

Its an OS map so height is represented with contour lines. By the looks of it, Blessington is about 160m in some parts.

Great find, has my house on, unlike google.

Danno

Google looks crap compared to this for the majority of Ireland. It's a wonder Google don't purchase the aerial photos from OSI. Nice to see some of our tax euros went on something useful during the boom years :P

Danno

Zoom in on Birr. Find the weather station. Then zoom in to District View. Toggle between the 2000 and 2005 photos. The amount of building near by is amazing. No wonder they are going to move the station outta there.

Aye tis a good find Danno. I use live maps but I don't think they show sea level height.

Trogdor

Wow! Now thats detail when your shed is on the map!!

18m asl.

Right On A Spot Height :P

I'm don't know which is the exact site of the Birr site. I couldn't find the enclosure for the Clones site either.
Google maps has a more recent photo of Kilkenny and shows the large development well.

Danno

Excellent Data Mothman. I didn't realise KK station was so close to the Hospital there.

Hello,
Just wondering if anyone knows where information showing buildings on maps is obtained from.
I built extension to my house and it's shown on map. Extension is less than size which requires planning, so no one was officially notified about it. My building was finished in June 2007.
I also know of a number of other buildings without planning which are shown.

Probably the wrong section of Boards to be in, but anyway, Ordnance Survey generally update their maps by ariel photos.

baldieman

Ohh just spotted that, is it a proper village with at least a shop, post office and a pub or just a collection of a few houses like Annamoe?(only two businesses in Annamoe - An Antique shop and a Trout Fishery..'tis a strange place ).

Edit - Just looked at that in Google earth, that ain't no village sukka! Roundwood keeps its title imho!

Emm Just a school AFAIK

That's really cool! My house was being built in 2001 so I can see the place when it was just a feild with a road going through it, and it also brings back memories of when I moved in in 2001 and none of the other houses around were built yet. They started from the end of my foad and built up both sides!

fozzle

Ahah! My parents are at 60m asl, I'm at 70m asl - but they live on a hill and I don't! I love geography...... ^_^

Wing Walker

Interesting map alright. Thanks for the link.

For heights and the like, I found this website to be useful: www.earthtools.org

WW

CianRyan

95m asl.

I always thought it was more, oh well...

Bumped this as this is an excellent resource that some may not know about.

Mods, please slap my hands if needed & apols in advance.
Still the best map of Ireland in my opinion.
