Agenzia per l'Italia Digitale provides a regional technical cartography map series at a 1:5,000 scale. The map is based on traditional aerophotogrammetry methods and consists of 2,620 individual map sheets, or 'elements'. It was last updated in 1998 and provides a general representation of morphology, waters, vegetation, and man-made works.
Use Cases
- Analyze land morphology and elevation based on level curves with 5-meter equidistance and isolated quoted points.
- Identify and classify man-made structures based on the distinction between civil and industrial building types.
- Perform geospatial analysis using the map's Gauss-Boaga and UTM coordinate reference systems.
- Create topographic basemaps for regional planning based on the detailed representation of terrain, hydrography, and infrastructure.
Strengths
- The map series contains 2,620 individual map sheets ('elements') providing detailed coverage.
- Specifies maximum permissible errors for planimetric position (2.00 m) and point elevation (1.20 m for isolated points, 2.20 m for level curves).
- Offers a double version with and without building outlines, distinguishing between civil and industrial construction types.
Limitations
- Last updated 1998-01-01 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Data may reflect geographic/temporal bias inherent to the source and collection method.
