Topographic map (vector)
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.
The largest scale level (1:100,000) of the Topographic map in vector format is produced by generalising from the Topographic database. Topographic map 1:250,000 is produced by generalising the dataset 1:100,000. Topographic map 1:1,000,000 is produced by generalising the dataset 1:250,000. Topographic map 1:4,500,000 is produced by generalising the dataset 1:1,000,000. The geographic names have been generalised from the geographic names in the Geographic Names Register to map names suited to the scale in question. The administrative borders in the Municipal Division of each scale are used as administrative borders.
The product belongs to the open data of the National Land Survey of Finland.
Purpose:
The Topographic map in vector format can be used for the production of other map products, e.g. approach maps or maps on a regional or national level.

Maintenance
Maintenance
The products in scales 1:100,000, 1:250,000, 1:1,000,000 and 1:4,500,000 are published once a year in July. Administrative borders, protected areas and firing ranges are updated annually. The road network is updated every 1‒2 years. Topographic areas of human activity are updated every 2 years. Other map layers are updated every 2‒10 years. The products include geographic names. The updating status of all map layers of the products can be seen in the maintenance table:
