Base Map (Vector Tile Style)

The BaseMap is a dynamic web-map built on vectortile technology, designed specifically for optimal use on mobile devices. All map elements are displayed in vector format, including terrain representations. The BaseMap includes a wide range of features, such as points-of-interest (POI) covering various topics. It combines official data (including the topographic landscape model, digital elevation model, digital cartographic model, public transport stops and the official road directory), as well as third-party data. The map’s content varies based on the zoom level displayed. The vector representation adheres to the Maplibre style specification. The data basis consists of vector tiles (Base Vector Tileset and Relief Vector Tileset).
