The "beta" version of VMD is now available. Details on the OS website at http://blog.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/2011/03/os-vectormap-district-graduates-to-beta-release/

Some things have been generalised, others improved. Still not sure what to think of it really...

From my experiment the main problem is that VMD doesn't show service roads - which can make the odd footpath disappear in thin air. This is a shame because I'd like to run a lightweight map server where only paths with designation tag and foot=permissive are in the database (I'm forced into this approach due to limited server capacity) and I don't have to add anything else such as service roads.
