Swisstopo wins international award for 3D function
The Federal Office of Topography Swisstopo has won the "Geospatial World Excellence Award 2022" in the "Content Platform" category for its 3D underground viewer swissgeol.ch.

With its 3D underground viewer viewer.swissgeol.ch the Swisstopo map service can display data below the earth's surface that can be combined with other georeference data. The web application was developed together with the Lausanne-based company Camptocamp. Users can use the viewer to put geological models into a geographic context and combine data from different sources and text areas. The viewer also provides insight into different geological layers and their structures in the subsurface of a working area. The free data can be downloaded in a simple way.
The "Geospatial World Excellence Award 2022" was awarded on the recommendation of an international panel of experts from the fields of geospatial data and geoinformatics. The award is presented every year. In 2012, Swisstopo received, among others, the "World Leadership Award for National Mapping".
