• Scale of 1:250,000 (1 cm = 2.5km).
• Markings of national roads
• National borders
• Marking of streams, rivers, lakes, mountains.
• Updated at least once a year.

Unsure how to answer the "Available for free" and "Machine-readable" criteria:

• there is an online version https://kartes.lgia.gov.lv/karte/ which is free but not machine-readable (it's an online map)
• detailed machine-readable versions are also available (as OGC WMS, OGC WFS services, etc.) but it is a paid service and it is not clear how to get access to them. here's the official publication with a list of fees: https://likumi.lv/doc.php?id=258991
