Comments

A raster map with the scale 1:1.000.000 as well as several vector and geology datasets are provided for free. Additional data is sold via the online shop. An interactive map viewer with all available layers and visualization of changes over time is available here. A catalogue of all existing geospatial data is available on a specific data catalogue for geo-data with detailed meta-descriptions and detailed information on updates to topographical maps. Several geographic data sets will also be available on the Swiss Open Government Data Portal.

Reviewer comments

I found that one must register in order to download even the free content, thus it is not public. The terms and conditions one approves when downloading clearly state that this is not free for commercial use.
