Choropleth mapping challenge

Use our sparql endpoint for geometries. Optionally, get other (statistical) data from other sparql endpoints e.g. via federated queries. Create a choropleth map and visualize it, like this example, made with via D3.js and Leaflet.js

Back to the basics

Learn to use the tools on map.geo.admin.ch based on OpenLayers, to explore Swisstopo maps in your Web browser. Find out how to add your own geodata to the map using the KML import feature. Explore the geodata index (INSPIRE) and learn to browse geodata online.

Using the API geoservices

Use a desktop tool like QGIS to connect to GeoAdmin's Web Map Services and extract geodata. Create an application that connects and uses real-time data from the GeoAdmin API. Join the mailing list and contribute to open issues or discussions.
