The continuous addition of new content and regular updates of the some 1000 data sets already available, ensure that the information remains current.

Working with the maps

Various tools assist you in using the information available on the maps. For example, you can measure, draw or compare two data sources.

In the practical online help section, you will find detailed instructions for all tools and functions.
