Vector data comes from the digital cartographic model, which is also used for the derivation of printed maps, and the “Swiss Map Raster”. Contents are structured according to subject matter and can be edited by class or by object. Terrain is depicted using raster data. Relief and hypsometric depictions are available. Switzerland and neighbouring countries are shown from Lyon to Salzburg and from Strasbourg to Genoa.

Uses

  • For the development of information systems and use in GIS applications with major demands on cartographic representation and possible personalisation
  • As a basis for personalised publications and illustrations in the media
  • As a basis for subsequent cartographic developments

Data formats

Swiss Map Vector is available in File-Geodatabase (GDBP and GDB) and GeoPackage (GPKG) formats. Ideally, it is recommended that the GDBP or GDB versions be used (ArgGISPro, from version 3.0 and ESRI ArcMap, from version 10.2.2). For the GeoPackage version, there are support files for depiction similar to national maps in QGIS.
