Our Commitment
Landmark has built a reputation for the quality of its data. All the data held is constantly updated and cross-referenced to ensure its accuracy and reinforce the reliability on which customers depend. As the result of a joint venture between Ordnance Survey and Landmark an extensive digital historical map archive has been created dating back to 1850 and consisting of more than half a million individual map sheets.
Landmark has undertaken a detailed analysis of the historical map archive resulting in an extensive database of previous land use throughout England, Scotland and Wales. Environmental Data such as landfills, pollution incidents, water abstraction points, sites of special scientific interest, IPPC and LAPPC licences, and much more, is held within the Landmark database.
In June 1999 the company merged with Prodat Systems, the company behind the CD-based digital mapping system, Promap. Landmark and Prodat have combined strengths to apply the advanced digital delivery system of Promap to Landmark products.
Customers include environmental and geo-technical consultants, surveyors, lawyers, lenders, property companies, insurance companies, and multi-site industrial and utility companies. In September 2003 Landmark Information Group's parent company, DMG Information Limited announced the acquisition of Sitescope Limited.
Sitescope is one of the UK's leading online providers of environmental searches. The integration of Sitescope Limited and Landmark Information Group Limited provides customers of both companies an increased choice of products utilising the latest technology.
