The document discusses redesigning the map viewer on the Swiss federal geoportal map.geo.admin.ch. It describes analyzing the existing map viewer and finding that while map navigation worked well, other functions were not discovered or understood by users. The proposed redesign includes consolidating the number of parts, increasing the map size, centralizing functions and navigation, and adding an "all in one" search tool to provide fast access to geographic information and layers. User testing is needed to improve the search interface and ensure its features are understandable.
