Digimap - maintenance

The MasterMap facility in Digimap will be unavailable due to maintenance work:

MasterMap Download will be unavailable from 4pm on Friday 4 February until 12 noon on Monday 7 February and will continue to be at risk for the remainder of Monday 7th.

While the maintenance work may be completed over the weekend, there is further software maintenance to be undertaken. Currently it is difficult to estimate the length of time this will take, which is why MasterMap Download should be regarded as "at risk" for the remainder of Monday 7th February.
