NSW Basemap Greyscale

NSW Basemap GreyscaleThe NSW Basemap Greyscale theme provides a seamless state-wide map of roads, features of interest, localities, landcover, property boundaries, cultural data, and 10 metre contour layer in neutral grey colour.The greyscale is a neutral basemap that includes many of the features of the topographic theme web map and will allow your added data to feature.The web map is regularly updated and will show new information captured or sourced by DCS Spatial Services. All datasets used in this service are authoritative foundational spatial data. Access the NSW Foundation Spatial Data Framework for details and specifications. NSW Basemaps are vector tile, web accessible maps that enable faster loading times for users and high-resolution display at all zoom levels. Vector tile layers can adapt to the resolution of a particular display device and can be restyled for multiple uses.

This web map service allows users to easily integrate the NSW Basemap into spatial platforms and applications and provides a combined view of NSW Foundation Spatial Data.Basemap legend

Relationship to themes and datasets  

The NSW Basemap is made up from elements from NSW Administrative Boundaries, Land Parcel Property, Water, Transport and Geocoded Address Themes as well as Features of Interest and Physiography Categories of the Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF) Boundaries

Accuracy 

The dataset maintains a positional relationship to, and alignment with, a range of themes from the NSW FSDF including, transport, imagery, positioning, water, and land cover. This dataset was captured by digitising the best available cadastral mapping at a variety of scales and accuracies, ranging from 1:500 to 1:250 000 according to the National Mapping Council of Australia, Standards of Map Accuracy (1975). Therefore, the position of the feature instance will be within 0.5mm at map scale for 90% of the well-defined points. That is, 1:500 = 0.25m, 1:2000 = 1m, 1:4000 = 2m, 1:25000 = 12.5m, 1:50000 = 25m and 1:100000 = 50m. A program of positional upgrade (accuracy improvement) is currently underway.
