Base and background layers

What is it: 

Basemaps provide location context and serve as a reference map on which you overlay other map layers.  These layers are supplied by a Web Service and are maintained by the separate data originators

Data originators: 
OceanWise
OpenStreetMap (OSM)
Ordnance Survey (OS)
This information page is part of the theme:
