Improvement of the online tool for correction reports
Users of our maps and geodata can easily submit correction requests via map.geo.admin.ch or the swisstopo app and send them to swisstopo with just a few clicks. These notifications are then published as points in the webmap viewer. We have now optimized this reporting process and, above all, improved communication with users. Senders of correction requests will now be actively informed by email as soon as the processing status of their report changes.
swissSURFACE3D Update November 2025
The latest generation of LiDAR data is now available for the entire canton of Geneva and the south-western part of the canton of Vaud. Furthermore, we mistakenly published all LiDAR tiles for eastern Switzerland that appeared in 2025 in the LHN95 height system instead of the LN02 height system. The tiles have since been recalculated and republished on November 4th. If you want to project tiles downloaded before this date into the LN02 height system, you can use Geosuite with the REFRAME module.
