Cartographic Tools for Map Design

Swiss maps are world-famous for their beauty, and swisstopo cartographers used MapTiler Cloud’s Customize tool to develop the new Swiss Light-Base-Map map style.

MapTiler Server was used to create a live-preview of the maps under development, so cartographers could immediately visualize changes to the style and design.

Data stored in PostGIS databases easily connected to the maps and easily adapted to fit the Swiss style.
