NSW Basemap Light GreyThe NSW Basemap Light Grey theme includes minimal key data for
localities, roads, hydrology, and landform with a light neutral background.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 Vector tile 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.
