Details of the how to install Loader on Windows including its dependencies.

Examples of how to configure Loader to support different output formats and datasets.

QGIS Plugin

Saber and Pete at Lutra have put together a QGIS plugin that provides a UI to Loader which is available here: www.lutraconsulting.co.uk/resources/ostranslator together with QGIS compatible styling. It currently supports output in ESRI Shapefile format with some QGIS specific attributes to make rendering labels simple.

Styling

Once you've loaded the data via Loader you may want to render it in something like QGIS or MapServer.

QGIS Styles

The Lutra OS Translator page includes links to QGIS styles for OS MasterMap compatible with the plugin. The QGIS-UK/Style repository contains QGIS styles for OS MasterMap and OS VectorMap Local.

The [Ordnance Survey/OSMM-Topography-Layer-stylesheet] (https://github.com/OrdnanceSurvey/OSMM-Topography-Layer-stylesheets) contains style sheets for MasterMap Topography Layer

MapServer

A sample MapServer mapfile for OS MasterMap is in the extras directory of the main Loader repository.
