    The new GIS browser as a public service for professionals and private individuals

    The canton of Zurich offers a huge pool of data with a spatial reference (geodata). Most of it is accessible free of charge via the GIS browser. Around 200 digital maps, grouped according to 21 main themes such as buildings, flora and fauna, leisure and geology, can be accessed online. Most of the data can be used without restrictions and the map content can be downloaded and printed directly.

    Broad benefits for professionals and private individuals
    The GIS browser is a useful planning and decision-making tool not only for professionals, but also for private individuals. Location factors such as the age of a house, proximity to public transport stops, shops, schools or sports facilities, planned building sites and journey times on the road network can be easily checked. Up-to-date and precise facts on numerous issues are available.

    History and development of the GIS browser
    Since its launch in 1999, the GIS browser has undergone continuous development. The new version is the third generation. Most of the publicly relevant maps are already available and the migration of the remaining maps is continuing.

    Advantages of the new GIS browser
    The portal has a new design and the user interface is intuitive and self-explanatory, even on smartphones and tablets. An intelligent search function makes it easier to find the desired map. The map views can be customised and used even better thanks to new functions such as filters and favourites lists.

    Integration into the new cantonal geoportal
    The geodata of the Canton of Zurich is also available in the geodata catalogue and geodata shop. These systems are now centrally accessible via the new geoportal geo.zh.ch. The geoportal also offers news on new maps and a help and support area.

It is desirable that homeowners, investors and companies network with one another and “actively participate in the development of the home universe with their own inputs, questions and requests”.
