The document summarizes updates to the Digimap site, including changes to various mapping services and datasets. Street View in OS Roam now uses a new default raster map, and several vector maps are available. Print options in Roam services now allow user-defined scales and include a printable legend. The data download basket interface has improved layer and format selection. New geospatial datasets have been added, including building heights, geology maps, marine charts and bathymetry. Resources and training are available to help users understand and work with the site updates.
