Has anyone in the UK who is using the Ordnance Survey Maps API managed to get them added into FME for use as a background map.  I have tried and get nothing to display….

Any advice welcome...

Hi ​@ingalla! Did you happen to run into any particular issues trying to use the basemap? 
I haven't tested this myself but looking into their OS Maps API documentation, you should be able to use this service. 

Looks like OS has OGS WMTS and ZXY versions available, which in FME, may fall under OGC WMS (Web Tile Service) and Tiled Web Map XYZ.

 

FME Options>Background maps> “+”

 

Depending on the API version, the configuration may be a little different. 

Let me know how it goes though! Happy to figure this out with you and the community
