This service provides access to a topographical web map that is adapted for display on a screen. The map information is separated into fifteen information types. The divided layers give you the freedom to choose which information you want to display on the map image. The product name in Swedish is Topografisk webbkarta Visning, skiktindelad.
About this product
The service contains one layer with topographic map information that is presented clearly in full colour and one layer that presents the topographic map information in toned-down greyscale. Each layer is a separate image.
Maintenance and update frequency
The information is updated with different intervals depending on the type of information and scale level. A simplified description of the topicality of the information is that:
- The information in scale areas up to 1:15 000 is updated at least every 24 hours.
- The information in scale areas over 1:15 000 is updated every month.

Technical framework and standard for display services
Our map and image display services are based on the standardized call interfaces Web Map Service (WMS) and Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) developed by OGC, The Open Geospatial Consortium (new window). WMS is also an ISO standard (ISO 19128).
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 (new window).
At OSGeo, The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (new window) you can read more about software in the field of geodata that are based on open source code.
