How to get started

This platform helps you explore national and regional topographic and point cloud datasets across Europe. Follow the steps below — each section includes an explanation and an example GIF.

1. Move and Zoom the Map

Drag the map with your mouse to move, scroll to zoom in/out, or use pinch gestures on touch devices. Hold Shift and drag to tilt and rotate the map.

2. Use the Table of Contents (TOC)

Open the left-hand panel to browse all available countries. You can filter with the search bar or click a category button to highlight only specific dataset types:

  • Region – regional dataset
  • Pointcloud – LiDAR datasets
  • Elevation model – raster Digital Elevation Models
  • No data / unknown – no open information

3. Select a Country

Click a country in the TOC list, or directly on the map. The map will highlight the country and show information in the right-hand panel. If regional data exists, a new panel with regions will appear.
