The National Land Survey maintains topographic data and produces maps, aerial photos and laser scanning data from the entire country. The product descriptions present the data content of products, quality information and the formats in which data is available.
Most of the products are available at downloading service in MapSite.
The Background map is a dataset product series in raster format that depicts the whole of Finland and that is meant for web use as a background material for thematic data. Its key objects are road names, roads and railways, buildings and constructions, administrative borders, geographical names, waterways, land use and addresses of buildings (the Digital and Population Data Services Agency).
The 3D vectors for buildings are three-dimensional instances of the Building target category in the National Topographic Database (KMTK).
The location of the real property unit is shown on the cadastral index map. On the map, there are property and other register unit boundaries and property identifiers.
The location of the real property unit is shown on the cadastral index map. On the map, there are property and other register unit boundaries, boundary markers and property identifiers.
Control points and their coordinates and elevations define in practice the reference system for coordinates and elevations used in Finland.
Division into administrative areas (raster) is a dataset depicting the municipal Division of Finland. The product includes municipal, regional, and state borders.
Division into administrative areas (vector) is a dataset depicting the municipalities, regions, Regional State Administrative Agencies, and the national border of Finland.
Elevation model 10 m depicts the elevation of the ground surface of the whole of Finland in relation to sea level. Its grid size is 10 m x 10 m and the accuracy of elevation data 1.4 metres.
Elevation model 2 m is a model depicting the elevation of the ground surface in relation to sea level. Its grid size is 2 m x 2 m.
Elevation zones is a raster dataset that visualises elevation of the terrain. The product covers the whole of Finland. The dataset does not contain elevation values; it is a colour image that visualises the height of the terrain above sea level as zones. The product Elevation zones is available as a version that covers the whole country and as versions that cover a certain area.
National Land Survey's geographic names are available as interfaces and files. Interfaces and file products comprise of place name products and map name products.
Hillshade is a raster dataset visualising the elevation of the terrain. The material does not contain elevation values; it is a greyscale image that visualises the direction and steepness of hills.
Laser scanning data refers to three-dimensional point-like data depicting the ground and objects on the ground. Laser scanning data 0.5 p has been spaced out from Laser scanning data 5 p's density of 5 p/m² to a density of 0.5 p/m².
Laser scanning data refers to three-dimensional point-like data depicting the ground and objects on the ground. Each point is provided with x, y and z coordinate information.
Laser scanning data refers to three-dimensional point-like data depicting the ground and objects on the ground. Currently Laser scanning data 5 p is available only from certain parts of Finland.
The map sheet division is a system created for printing maps, which covers map sheet codes, map scales and map sheet sizes.
An aerial photograph is a photograph of the terrain taken from an aeroplane. The images are vertical photographs applicable to be used in mapping. The aerial photographs are reprocessed into dimensionally accurate images called orthophotos.
NLS orthophotos are an aerial photo data set covering the whole of Finland. The geometry of the orthophotos corresponds to a map.
The Plain map series is a simple, plain and readable dataset product series in raster format that depicts the whole of Finland.
The themes of the Topographic database and Topographic map raster series (scale 1:10,000) have been compiled into seven theme entities, theme rasters, required by the Inspire directive: hydrography, elevation, traffic network, land use, land cover, place names and buildings. In addition to the above, the theme rasters also include the municipal division, road names and map sheet division as separate themes.
The Topographic database is a dataset depicting the terrain of all of Finland.
The Topographic map (raster) is a dataset depicting the terrain of all of Finland. The key elements in it are the road network, buildings and constructions, geographic names, waterways, land use and elevation.
National Land Survey's Topographic map in vector format is a dataset depicting the terrain of all of Finland. The most important elements are the road network, administrative borders, preservation areas, population centres, geographic names, waterways, land use and elevation.
