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.
