What is MapAnt Switzerland

MapAnt Switzerland is an automatically generated orienteering map, which covers the whole of Switzerland.

How was MapAnt created?

The map itself for MapAnt Switzerland was created with OCAD.

Large amounts of elevation data were imported via XML script LiDAR and DTM Import to derive contour lines and a vegetation map.

Also, data from the large-scale topographic landscape model of Switzerland were imported and converted into OCAD symbols.

Afterwards, WMTS tiles were exported in OCAD using XML Script WMTS Export and made available on the web with leaflet.

Data source

Most of the data was obtained from Bundesamt für Landestopografie swisstopo.

Contour lines: swissALTI3D
Vegetation map: swissSURFACE3D
Topographic landscape model: swissTLM3D

However, for some cantons swisstopo does not yet provide swissSURFACE3D data to calculate a vegetation map.
For cantons Bern, Basel, Baselland and Solothurn, these data could be obtained from the cantonal authorities.
For cantons Graubünden (Grisons), Wallis (Valais) and Jura, no data could be obtained and therefore the vegetation map is missing in these cantons.

How to use MapAnt?

MapAnt can animate to discover new areas, you can load it as a background map for mapping or print parts of it for training. The individual tiles of mapant.ch can be exported georeferenced as 1x1km or 16x16km tiles georeferenced and later loaded e.g., as background map in OCAD.

In OCAD, you can also load mapant.ch directly as a predefined WMTS layer.
