Maintenance and update frequency

The product is continuously updated with new orthophotos as they are produced.

Updating of orthophotos is carried out as new aerial photograhs are available, according to The national image provision programme. New orthophotos are produced each year, covering approximately 30 % of the country, with a resolution of 0,4 m or 0,16 m and an interval of between 2 and 10 years, depending on location. Orthophotos covering the south of Sweden and areas along the east coast are produced every other year with 0,16 m resolution, alternating before and after leafing. Orthophotos with the higher resolution are also produced over some larger localities and chosen areas in other parts of the country.
