NSW Basemap Terrain
The NSW Basemap\nTerrain theme features roads and streets, hydrology and displays shaded relief to\nemphasise landform using contours and elevation features. Elevation points are\nlabelled at zoomed scale 2 km or less. The terrain theme provides the ideal\nbasemap to environmental data, such as protected areas or ecosystems.
The web map is\nregularly updated and will show new information captured or sourced by DCS\nSpatial Services. All datasets used in this service are authoritative\nfoundational spatial data. Access the NSW Foundation Spatial Data Framework for details and specifications.
NSW Basemaps\nare vector tile, web accessible maps that enable faster loading times for users\nand high-resolution display at all zoom levels. Vector tile layers can adapt to\nthe resolution of a particular display device and can be restyled for multiple\nuses.

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

Relationship to themes and datasets\u00a0\u00a0 | 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\u00a0the Foundation Spatial Data Framework\u00a0(FSDF). |
Accuracy\u00a0 | 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.\u00a0\u00a0 |
