This document discusses a redesign of map.geo.admin.ch, a Swiss government web mapping application. It notes that the original design was focused on GIS specialists rather than general users, making many functions difficult to discover and use. A user analysis found issues like unclear printing and drawing tools. The redesign proposal simplifies the interface into four main parts: navigation, search, topics for layers, and functions in one place. It also maximizes the map size and focuses on providing information rather than just data access. The goal is to make the site more intuitive for non-specialists based on applications like Google Maps that most users already know.

- 4. Federal Office of Topography swisstopo COSIG geo.admin.ch: the geoportal of the Swiss Confederation The federal geodata portal is a publicly accessible platform for geographical information, data and services. Geographical information consists of geographically and spatially referenced data. It describes the characteristics of a country or region in the form of coordinates and place names.
- 5. Federal Office of Topography swisstopo COSIG Geo.admin.ch: Geoinformation Act The Geoinformation Act (GeoIG) came into force on 1st July 2008. It provides the legal framework, for all activities relating to information about basic geodata of Federal law and its exchange and use.
- 6. Federal Office of Topography swisstopo COSIG Geo.admin.ch: Geoinformation Act Art. 1 Aim This Act has the aim of ensuring that geodata relating to the territory of the Swiss Confederation is made available for general use to the authorities of the Confederation, the cantons and communes, the private sector, the public and to academic and scientific institutions in a sustainable, up-to-date, rapid and easy manner, in the required quality and at a reasonable cost.
- 7. Federal Office of Topography swisstopo COSIG map.geo.admin.ch Digital data can be viewed, printed out, ordered and supplied by means of the map viewer tool. The required data is available in the form of digital maps and photos, vector data and also as online services. The desired data is available in the form of pixel maps, digital images, vector data etc., at a variety of scales.
