Contents the MapData-Database
The MapData-Database contains information for the following mapping bases:
  • Europe 1:5 mio (variable scales from 1:5 to 1: 3 mio)
  • Europe 1:750 000 (variable scales from 1:1 mio to 1:500 000)
  • Switzerland 1:240 000 (variable scales from 1:200 000 to 1:350 000)
  • Town plans (various scales)
  • Transit plans (various scales).

The MapServer
The MapServer is mounted onto an Oracle 8i Spatial-Database. All the data is geo-referenced and as such may be projected to any known set of projection perimeters. The mapping information is stored as Vector (Meta format) and as such may be converted to any known data format (Bitmap or Vector) for MAC or PC.
A Place name index is linked to the Database and so may be generated from any defined cutout. The Database structure also allows the linking of any other attributes to the mapping information (e.g. for Navigation, GIS).
