Scrap the Ulster Canal and co-ordinate OSI/OSNI
February 5th, 2012The Ulster Canal project, as you may have gathered, is not a project I support. If the Government of the Republic of Ireland wished to spend money on a cross border project that would generate tourist related spin offs, I would like to advocate a deal between Ordnance Survey Ireland and its counterpart in Northern Ireland - Ordnance Survey Northern Ireland. Presently both State agencies have online mapping sites where users can view for free basic mapping data. IMHO, that of the OSI is better as it allows flipping between current and historic data - the latter being very interesting. However, each mapping agency stops at the border. The effect of this is quite blunt - especially when viewing the historic maps on the OSI site - suddenly a jagged line appears and blank beyond this. You'd almost expect to see a message stating "Here be dragons" as was done by cartographers of old.
I would like to advocate the creation of one online State map viewing site for the island of Ireland, providing seemless integration of the current and historic mapping datasets of both OSI and OSNI on one site using the OSI technology as it is, IMHO, superior to the OSNI viewing software from an end user perspective. Some might say why not go further and merge the two bodies as a new north south agency. Given their respective roots in the creation of maps for military purposes, I can't see that one being a flyer. State security and all that.
