Data details

Name IS 50V (National Land Survey of Iceland - Iceland)
Note The IS 50V digital database consists of eight layers: contour lines and height points, structures, boundaries, transportation, hydrology, coastal line, surface and place names. It is constantly being updated by using a variety of sources and data, such as Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking for road, aerial photographs, Satellites Pour l'Observation de la Terre 5 (SPOT-5) satellite images or data from agencies and municipalities. The IS 50V also offers a height model derived from IS 50V contours, being available in the download Service.

Requirements

Requirement Level of compliace Note Information costs Handling costs Created on Last modified on
Ground Control Points (GCPs) - 3D Partially National product - providing only regional Information, therefore only partially compliant. Oct. 17, 2018, 12:06 p.m. Nov. 30, 2020, 1:22 p.m.
Digital Elevation Model Partially Used for gaining additional data on altitudes for delineating building height. Only partially compliant due to not standardised data, unsufficient accuracy especially in urban areas, limited access and only national coverage. Oct. 17, 2018, 12:06 p.m. Nov. 30, 2020, 1:22 p.m.
