swissTLMRegio is a 2D landscape model, which represents the natural and man-made features of the landscape in vector format.

vector200

The small-scale landscape model of Switzerland

With its high generalisation grade it is a reference dataset for applications requiring a regional or national overview. swissTLMRegio is divided into topics.

Applications
swissTLMRegio is ideal for a wide range of applications:

  • visual background for orientation in GIS, CAD and navigation systems
  • overlay to terrain models for 3D visualisations and analyses (e.g. DHM25)
  • basis for spatial analyses, simulations, planning or statistics
  • reference data for information systems
  • initial products for publications (e.g. maps, plans, Internet) and multimedia products (e.g. in the fields of Multimedia, Navigation or Geo-marketing)
  • extension of the swissTLM3D perimeter
