Expanded access to OS Data Hub
This release significantly broadens data format compatibility within SIS Desktop. Support has been added for the OS MasterMap™ Topography Layer supplied in the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) GeoPackage format accessible from the OS Data Hub. OS NGD Transport Network and Water Network data can also be loaded from OGC GeoPackage files into SIS Desktop, with automatic conversion to a topological network.

Efficient data management and optimisation
With an emphasis on efficient data management, SIS Desktop now offers an OGC Utilities page. This enables users to manage OGC GeoPackage database files, including adding spatial indexes to a database file and merging separate database files into a single new file. A popular application for this new utility will be for consolidating multiple files downloaded from the OS Data Hub for simplified data and file management.

More applications and extensions
SIS WebMap supports the what3words (w3w) extension which allows the user to zoom to any w3w address, or to click on the map to learn the w3w address for that position. The new release of Cadcorp SIS WebMap for Power BI allows resources within Microsoft Power BI such as point, area and line data to be displayed over background maps with dynamic styling options. A link to an Incident Recording System, popular with UK Fire and Rescue Services, has been updated and allows incident locations to be validated on a map.
