About this product
Instead of creating a new picture for each call, the service returns small pre-generated images in set scale levels. The map contains a selection of Lantmäteriet’s products, ranging from the Map of Sweden 1:5 million to the Topography 50.
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.
The map information is displayed with a harmonised cartography between the scales. The information in the service is adapted to be displayed in scales less than 1:30 236. When zooming in to scales larger than 1:30 236, no changes to the contents occur apart from a simple enlargement of the information.
