NSW Basemap TerrainThe NSW Basemap
Terrain theme features roads and streets, hydrology and displays shaded relief to
emphasise landform using contours and elevation features. Elevation points are
labelled at zoomed scale 2 km or less. The terrain theme provides the ideal
basemap to environmental data, such as protected areas or ecosystems. 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).
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.
