It all depends what format your MasterMap is in? GML? Shapefile? =20
MapInfo Tab?

Getting MasterMap. to work from a shapefile is easy, however, if your =20=

data is GML then I think you'll need convert it.

You might be able to read it in via OGR/GDAL but I've never tried it =20
(www.remotesensing.org/gdal/), if your using the none topographically =20=

structured version.

If you look on the OS website =20
(http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/products/osmastermap/=20
systems/index.html) this will tell you what software claims to be =20
compatabile.

Not sure if this is helpful or not.

Regards,

Andrew
