The National Map 1:25,000 is a topographic map of Switzerland representing the areas of traffic and settlements, the hydrography, the topography and the vegetation in great detail. The update is done by sector. The current status of the map is displayed by default in the federal map viewer. With the ‘journey through time’ function, all available data statuses since 1952 can be displayed. The detailed statuses of updates are shown in the layer "Division national map 25 Raster". The current National Map 1:25,000 is published in analogue format as a printed map and in digital format as the Swiss Map Raster or Swiss Map Vector.

The National Map 1:50,000 is a topographic map of Switzerland representing the areas of traffic and settlements, the topography and the vegetation in detail. The map perimeter is divided into 78 individual sheets. There are composites of specified regions. The National Map 1:50,000 is published in analogue format as a printed map and in digital format as the Swiss Map Raster. The update is done by sector. The different statuses of updates are shown in the layer "Division national map 50 Raster".

The 1:10,000 national map is swisstopo’s largest scale topographic map. It stands out for its detailed representation of traffic, settlements, terrain and vegetation as well as its thorough labelling. The contents are supplemented by rock hachures and relief. The perimeter of the map covers the national territory of both Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein. Updates are made every year based on the latest version of swisstopo’s topographic landscape model (TLM). The 1:10,000 national map is produced in digital form in colour and greyscale. Both of these versions of the map form the basis for Switzerland’s geo data viewer (map.geo.admin.ch) in the first four zoom levels. The 1:10,000 map is also available as “Swiss Map Raster 10” in the form of geo-referenced TIF data and as "Swiss Map Vector 10" for individual sections of the perimeter.

## Regarding data sources

Census information for Ticino was transcribed from the Annual Statistical Report of Canton Ticino from years 2010 to 2015. This data was taken from their publicly accessible annual reports - for example: (https://www3.ti.ch/DFE/DR/USTAT/allegati/volume/ast_2015.pdf). The raw data was extracted from these annual reports, and placed into the file: "swiss_census_popn_2010_2015.xlsx". These data are put into analysis ready format in the file “01_tidy.Rmd”

## Future work

In the future, these functions from the paper may be generalised and put into their own package. If that happens, this repository will be updated with a link to updated functions.

In order to digitally plan a cable line using the QGIS plugin ‘Seilaplan’, maps with various background information are helpful. In this tutorial we show you how to obtain maps that are helpful for cable line planning, for example a national map of Switzerland at different scales, the NFI vegetation height model or the NFI forest mix rate. For this we explain what WMS datasets are and how to integrate them into QGIS. No download of large data is needed for this, only a good internet connection. Please note that the tutorial language is German! Link for the integration of WMS data: https://wms.geo.admin.ch/ Link to the description on the Swisstopo website: https://www.geo.admin.ch/en/geo-services/geo-services/portrayal-services-web-mapping/web-map-services-wms.html Link to the Seilaplan website: https://seilaplan.wsl.ch

Für die Verwendung des QGIS Plugins Seilaplan zur digitalen Seillinienplanung sind verschiedene Hintergrundkarten hilfreich. In diesem Tutorialvideo zeigen wir, was WMS Daten sind und wie man diese in QGIS einbinden kann. Dafür müssen die Daten nicht heruntergeladen werden. Es braucht lediglich eine gute Internetverbindung. Für die Seillinienplanung hilfreiche Karten sind bspw. die Landeskarte der Schweiz in verschiedenen Massstäben, das Vegetationshöhenmodell LFI oder der Waldmischungsgrad LFI.

Geoscape Administrative Boundaries is Australia’s most comprehensive national collection of boundaries, including government, statistical and electoral boundaries. It is built and maintained by Geoscape Australia using authoritative government data. Further information about contributors to Administrative Boundaries is available here.

This dataset comprises seven Geoscape products:

• Localities
• Local Government Areas (LGAs)
• Wards
• Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Boundaries
• Electoral Boundaries
• State Boundaries and
• Town Points

Updated versions of Administrative Boundaries are published on a quarterly basis.

Users have the option to download datasets with feature coordinates referencing either GDA94 or GDA2020 datums.

Notable changes in the May 2025 release

• Victorian Wards have seen almost half of the dataset change now reflecting the boundaries from the 2024 subdivision review. https://www.vec.vic.gov.au/electoral-boundaries/council-reviews/ subdivision-reviews.

  • There have been spatial changes (area) greater than 1 km2 to 66 wards in Victoria.

• One new locality ‘Kenwick Island’ has been added to the local Government area ‘Mackay Regional’ in Queensland.

  • There have been spatial changes(area) greater than 1 km2 to the local government areas 'Burke Shire' and 'Mount Isa City' in Queensland.

• There have been spatial changes(area) greater than 1 km2 to the localities ‘Nicholson’, ‘Lawn Hill’ and ‘Coral Sea’ in Queensland and ‘Calguna’, ‘Israelite Bay’ and ‘Balladonia’ in Western Australia.

• An update to the NT Commonwealth Electoral Boundaries has been applied to reflect the redistribution of the boundaries gazetted on 4 March 2025.

• Geoscape has become aware that the DATE_CREATED and DATE_RETIRED attributes in the commonwealth_electoral_polygon MapInfo TAB tables were incorrectly ordered and did not match the product data model. These attributes have been re-ordered to match the data model for the May 2025 release.

IMPORTANT NOTE: correction of issues with the 22 November 2022 release

• On 28 November 2022, the Administrative Boundaries dataset originally released on 22 November 2022 was amended and re-uploaded after Geoscape identified some issues with the original data for 'Electoral Boundaries'.
• As a result of the error, some shapefiles were published in 3D rather than 2D, which may affect some users when importing data into GIS applications.
• The error affected the Electoral Boundaries dataset, specifically the Commonwealth boundary data for Victoria and Western Australia, including 'All States'.
• Only the ESRI Shapefile formats were affected (both GDA94 and GDA2020). The MapInfo TAB format was not affected.
• Because the datasets are zipped into a single file, once the error was fixed by Geoscape all of Administrative Boundaries shapefiles had to be re-uploaded, rather than only the affected files.
• If you downloaded either of the two Administrative Boundary ESRI Shapefiles between 22 November and 28 November 2022 and plan to use the Electoral Boundary component, you are advised to download the revised version dated 28 November 2022. Apologies for any inconvenience.

Further information on Administrative Boundaries, including FAQs on the data, is available here or through Geoscape Australia’s network of partners. They provide a range of commercial products based on Administrative Boundaries, including software solutions, consultancy and support.

Note: On 1 October 2020, PSMA Australia Limited began trading as Geoscape Australia.

License Information

World Administrative Divisions represents the boundaries for the first-level administrative divisions of the world as they existed in December 2022.Included are fields for name and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) codes, along with notes identifying disputed boundaries and continent information. Particularly useful are the fields LAND_TYPE and LAND_RANK that separate polygons based on their size. These fields are helpful for rendering at different scales by providing the ability to turn off small islands that may clutter small-scale views. The data is sourced from Garmin International, Inc. and was published here in October 2023. This layer is updated every 12-18 months or as significant changes occur.

The "Map Imager Layer - Administrative Boundaries" is a Map Image Layer of Administrative Boundaries. It has been designed specifically for use in ArcGIS Online (and will not directly work in ArcMap or ArcPro). This data has been modified from the original source data to serve a specific business purpose. This data is for cartographic purposes only.The Administrative Boundaries Data Group contains the following layers: Populated Places (USGS)US Census Urbanized Areas and Urban Clusters (USCB)US Census Minor Civil Divisions (USCB)PLSS Townships (MnDNR, MnGeo)Counties (USCB)American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian (AIANNH) Areas (USCB)States (USCB)Countries (MPCA)These datasets have not been optimized for fast display (but rather they maintain their original shape/precision), therefore it is recommend that filtering is used to show only the features of interest.
