In the zip folder that is attached to this guide, you will find several MapSources and a Mapfile. Below you will find detailed steps on how to set up an OS Maps API WMS base map via the Astun Data Services as well as the zip folder at the end of the page.

Steps

1. From the zip folder [ZIP HERE]

   View file
   name MapSources_v5.8.zip

   grab the MapFile called base_osmapsapi.map and place it under E:\iShareData\LIVE\_MapServerConfig\

2. From the zip folder MapSources v5_8 grab the OS Road MapSource called base_osmapsapi_road_wms.xml and place it under D:\Astun\iShareGIS\LIVE\WebApps\WebService\config\mapsources

3. After placing the files into the correct destinations, open Studio and import the MapSource under the BaseMaps node:

   1. Right-click on the BaseMaps node and select Import MapSource

      

       

   2. Navigate to the directory in which you placed the OS Road MapSource, open it, and give it an appropriate name such as OS Road in Studio:
      

      

      

       

4. After the import, you will notice that everything is prefilled for you. All you have to do is add your API key and your organisation's name in the correct places:

   1. Navigate to the Details node and examine the URI field. The URI field is pointing to the WMS Astun Data Services endpoint https://map.services.astuntechnology.com/your-organisation-goes-here/osmaps/service?key=your-API-key-goes-here. In the URI, you will see two placeholders, one that says your-API-key-goes-here and one that says your-organization-goes-here. Replace those placeholders with your alpha-numeric OS Data Hub Project API Key and organisation name, and don't forget to save your changes. If you are unsure of your organisation name, please contact us via support.
      

      

5. Add the base map to a MyMaps MapSource, save and test that the base map is displaying correctly:
   

   

   

6. Follow the same procedure for the rest of the direct basemap MapSources:

   1. base_osmapsapi_leisure_25k_wms.xml

   2. base_osmapsapi_leisure_50k_wms.xml

   3. base_osmapsapi_leisure_grayscale_wms.xml

   4. base_osmapsapi_leisure_wms.xml

   5. base_osmapsapi_light_grayscale_wms.xml

   6. base_osmapsapi_light_wms.xml

   7. base_osmapsapi_outdoor_grayscale_wms.xml

   8. base_osmapsapi_outdoor_wms.xml

   9. base_osmapsapi_road_grayscale_wms.xml
