KM50-R: Austrian National Topographic Map at 1:50,000 Scale

Austria's entire territory is covered by this digital state map at a basic scale of 1:50,000. The cartographic model is free of blades and georeferenced, with updates occurring nationwide at periodic intervals and for significant infrastructural changes. It is produced through a cooperation involving OGD Österreich and Wikimedia Österreich, and serves as the source for other Austrian map series.
