Live map

Click the map: attributes of features at the point.

Clicking shows the flight block at the point (survey, flight period).

Add to your map 

new maplibregl.Map({
  container: "map",
  style: {
    version: 8,
    sources: { ortho: { type: "raster", url: "https://tiles.mapx.at/v1/tiles/orthophoto.json", tileSize: 512 } },
    layers: [{ id: "ortho", type: "raster", source: "ortho" }]
  }
});

TileJSON provides zoom range, bounds and attribution. Send the token with every request: add the transformRequest from First map to the map options. With PMTiles directly use url: "pmtiles://https://tiles.mapx.at/dop-ortho-20251003-272a54b3.pmtiles?access_token=YOUR_TOKEN" (protocol as in the PMTiles guide).

Source and currency

  • Source: BEV Digital Orthophoto (DOP) RGB, 20 cm, captured 2022 to 2025.
  • Where surveys overlap, the more recent one is shown (no blending).

Notes

  • All of Austria is covered.
  • Color seams between surveys are visible; there is no color matching.
  • At the borders to DE, CH, LI, IT, SI, CZ and SK the imagery partly extends abroad; at the border to Hungary it ends at the border.
  • Below z18, pixels of both surveys mix at block boundaries; the assignment is unambiguous at z18.
