This service provides access to orthophotos (scale correct aerial photographs) in four levels of detail in colour (RGB) and in one level in infra-red (IR). The service meets the requirements of the EU INSPIRE Directive. The product name in Swedish is Ortofoto Visning.
About this product
The production year for each orthophoto is shown in its own metadata layers. For orthophotos from 2010 and onwards, seamlines and aerial photo acquisition times for the used aerial photographs are also shown in separate metadata layers.
Coverage
Resolution 0,16/0,25 m/pixel - The largest urban areas and more densely built-up areas in southern Sweden and along the east coast of northern Sweden in colour (RGB).
Resolution 0,4/0,5 m/pixel - Nationwide in colour (RGB).
Resolution 0,5 m/pixel - Nationwide in infra-red (IR).
Maintenance and update frequency
The service is continuously updated with new orthophotos as they are produced.
Download shape files
If more accurate information regarding the acquisition times for aerial photographs are needed, information files in shape format, containing exposure points for the aerial photographs, can be downloaded and matched against the orthophotos.

This version meets the requirements of the EU directive Inspire and contains the same nine layers (with the same layer names) as in the previous version 1.4 as well as all six layers (with the same layer names) from the previous service Orthophoto Viewing Inspire.
Thus, some of the layers point to the same data sets. The service is therefore backwards compatible with both the previous version 1.4 of Orthophoto Viewing and with Orthophoto Viewing Inspire. The information is also available in several more reference systems, including Google Mercator. |

Technical framework and standard for view services
Our map and image view services are based on the standardized call interfaces Web Map Service (WMS) and Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) developed by The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). WMS is also an ISO standard (ISO 19128).
The Open Geospatial Consortium website (new window)
The services are of the nature 'question-answer', where the consumer (user's system) sends a service call over the Internet and receives a map image in a standard image format or in a vector format for certain types of services.
The characteristics of the map image are defined by the call parameters, such as information type, geographical spread, reference system, image format and image size.
There are many client applications for display services or components for integration into own system available. In addition to commercial products, there are a number of established products based on open source code, such as QGIS.
At OSGeo, The Open Source Geospatial Foundation you can read more about software in the field of geodata that are based on open source code.
Do you want deeper technical information about our geodata products you can read the product documentation.
Our geodata products with API:s require that you have an application or software capable of managing the services. To view real property information or maps directly in your browser, you can use Lantmäteriet's e-services.
