DoctorMap is created by Dotted Eyes with reference to part of the Ordnance Survey Boundary-Line data set. The information is made up of digital vector data and consists of primary care trust and strategic health authority boundaries, in the form of polygon regions. There are also layers of hospitals and clinics as points.

DoctorMap technical information
A workspace (for use in MapInfo Professional) or project file (for use in ESRI ArcView/GIS) opens all the layers and sets zoom layer thresholds that determine when the layers are visible.
Suitable for scales on screen in the range 1:500,000 to 1:5,000. More layers become visible as you zoom in.
The location of boundaries is accurate to within 3m. This is within one pixel on screen at scales of up to 1:10,000.
The British National Grid co-ordinate system is used. The coastline fits closely with RangerMap (derived from 1:50,000 Scale Colour Raster from Ordnance Survey).
The storage space required is about 50Mb for full GB coverage.
Main formats available: MapInfo TAB, ESRI SHP, AutoCAD DXF, Illustrator EPS and others
