Data content

EuroRegionalMap contains 7 themes:

The administrative boundaries (BND) theme holds information on the administrative entities down to the lowest level and their administrative hierarchy. A unified coding system for all the administrative levels is included.

The water network (HYDRO) holds information on the watercourses like the name, the navigability and the width range and information on the open water area, the seaside and the associated hydrologic equipment (dams, locks). All watercourses form a continuous network with connectivity through open water and underground rivers.

The transport network (TRANS) holds information on the roads and the railways, the ferry lines, the airports, and the harbours. Roads and railways are identified by their number or their code and form a connected network associated with features like railway stations, parking places, level crossings and road interchanges. Connections between the different types of transport have been added.

The settlement theme (POP) holds information on the built-up areas and populated places including their name and the number of inhabitants.

The vegetation and soils theme (VEG) holds features like wood, orchard or sandy area.

The named locations (NAME) are just main text features of big geographic areas that are not portrayed in vector data and fit for cartographic purpose only.

The miscellaneous theme (MISC) holds various topographic elements like power lines, landmarks, and buildings.
