Additional data

Landcover data of the Earth
ESA WorldCover 2020
SmartMaps incorporate datasets from the European Space Agency (ESA) Climate Change Initiative, specifically those produced as part of the Land Cover project.
This global landcover data, derived from Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, provides a detailed and consistent representation of the Earth's surface. The ESA WorldCover dataset is a valuable resource, offering a comprehensive classification of various land cover types, including forests, grasslands, wetlands, urban areas, and more.
Terrain data of the Earth
JAXA and Natural Earth data
SmartMaps incorporate datasets from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), specifically the ALOS World 3D - 30m (AW3D30) digital surface model. This global terrain data, derived from the Panchromatic Remote-sensing Instrument for Stereo Mapping aboard the ALOS satellite, provides a detailed and consistent representation of the Earth's topography.
SmartMaps also utilize Natural Earth Bathymetry data to represent ocean depths accurately. This bathymetric data provides a comprehensive view of the ocean floor, essential for marine navigation, environmental research, and oceanographic studies.
Satellite data
Satellite imagery for Europe
SmartMaps incorporate datasets from the national mapping agencies and geodata institutes in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, specifically high-resolution orthophotos and digital surface models.
These nationwide aerial imaging data, derived from aerial surveys using modern camera systems, provide a detailed and consistent representation of the Earth's surface. The orthophotos and digital surface models are valuable resources, offering a comprehensive visualization of various land cover types, including forests, grasslands, wetlands, urban areas, and more.
