Name	Non-EU Border Map
Acronym
Description	Through Non-EU border map category, users can obtain an overview of the complete border area, allowing informed decision-making on questions such as at which points it is easier to hide vehicles or goods, or the border is more permeable or harder to patrol. A combination of satellite imagery at different resolutions with other sources of geographic information is used to generate relevant multi-layered products along a selected border or segment. The analysis is based on the location of natural features such as rivers, mountains or foliage, as well as assessments of distance to infrastructure (such as jetties and roads) or settlements.
