FAQs

Please describe your suggested change or correction. This is a mandatory field. Its content will be published on the federal geoportal later on. Please limit your comments to a brief description of the facts.

The text in the “Comments” field will be published on the federal geoportal later on. Please do not include any personal details or statements in this field that you do not wish to have published on the Internet. This field is also not the right place for providing location addresses or coordinates. Please indicate the relevant object directly in the viewer (step 2).

This helps us identify the corresponding location. It also simplifies our interpretation of your message and our search for the object in question. Only reports that include details of the location can be published on the federal geoportal.

Use the dot or line tool (step 2) to highlight the object in the viewer. This enables us to check the data according to your notification.

For technical reasons, geometries for indicating sites can only be created in the desktop version of map.geo.admin.ch. Notes recorded in the "mobile version" of map.geo.admin.ch do not appear in the federal geoportal. Use the swisstopo app if you want to send a revision notification from a mobile device (e.g. smartphone). In the swisstopo app you can indicate the location with points or lines. The messages sent via the swisstopo app are then published on the federal geoportal.

Yes. You can attach additional files via the «Upload» field, e.g. photos, brochures, text extracts.

No. Providing your e-mail address is optional. We only use it to confirm receipt of your report and to contact you if we have any queries.

Your notification will be forwarded to the appropriate data owners for examination. Any adjustments that may be required will be carried out in the relevant production systems.

The publication of corrected data depends on the updating cycles of the various swisstopo products.

Use the « Report problem» function in map.geo.admin.ch (federal geoportal).

Publication of notifications

Since June 2017, swisstopo has been publishing the messages it receives (which we refer to as revision notifications) on the federal geoportal. They are displayed as items under the heading, «Notifications for maps and geodata», and in each case include the content of the mandatory «Comments» field plus the current processing status. Senders can therefore monitor the progress of their messages at any time. A revision notification can only be published if dot or line geometry has been entered for identifying the location. During office hours, reports appear on the federal geoportal within 1 hour.
