Launching MapTiler Switzerland

Published April 13th, 2021

Maps in German, French, Italian, and Rumansch

MapTiler has Swisness in its DNA since the very beginning. After success in the international field, we are now focusing more deeply on our homeland and launching MapTiler.ch, a home for customers from Switzerland!

Swiss cartography and government data via API

Apart from standard street data from OpenStreetMap, MapTiler offers data from swisstopo - the Swiss Federal Office of Topography. Data are seamlessly integrated with the global map and perfectly blended on the borders.2021-03-05-swisstopo-maps-via-api-or-offline-3.pngFour Swiss-cartography-inspired map styles are available - Light, Vivid, Gray, and Dark.

LIGHT     VIVID     GRAY     DARK

These map styles can be easily customized to fit your website, app, or company/institution brand.

Labels like city names are available in all four official languages of Switzerland: German, French, Italian, and even Romansh!2021-04-13-launching-maptiler-switzerland-2.gifRead more about swisstopo vector tiles available via Maps APIs or deployable on-premise in the standalone article.

High-resolution aerial imagery of entire Switzerland

MapTiler offers high-resolution swissimage aerial images of entire Switzerland in a resolution of 10 cm/px. This swisstopo data is seamlessly blended and color-corrected with the global satellite layer.

Trusted by Swiss government & businesses

We are proud to serve customers all over Switzerland: our infrastructure, data, and software are trusted by major Swiss companies and institutions, including the SBB, swisstopo, MySwitzerland, Repower, and many more.

In the past year, our work in Switzerland grew through participation in national map projects with swisstopo. This included the creation of a data processing pipeline for official Swiss geodata and supporting the development of a new LBM map style and the test-version of the new geoportal.

MapTiler supplied tools for data processing, hosting, and serving the map, and is providing global map data to Swiss government agencies over MapTiler Cloud. That cooperation with swisstopo is ongoing and shows our commitment to supporting government and businesses.2021-04-13-launching-maptiler-switzerland-4.png
