Dataset description

The regional map is general map dataset compiled from the data of the 14 municipalities in the Helsinki region. The map is divided into sections describing land use (built-up area, undeveloped area, industrial area, water area), transport network, and administrative regional divisions. The regional map also includes grid data (2 km, 1 km, 500 m, 250 m grid cells) and two raster maps, of which a general and a more detailed version have been published. The themes of the raster maps are land use and transport. The dataset is maintained and harmonised annually by the City Survey services of Helsinki’s Urban Environment Division in cooperation with HSY and the survey services organisations of the region’s municipalities (Espoo, Vantaa, Kauniainen, Tuusula, Nurmijärvi, Kirkkonummi, Kerava, Järvenpää, Vihti, Pornainen, Mäntsälä, Hyvinkää and Sipoo). The regional map is a simplified base map with a scale of 1:40 000. The material is recommended to be used on a scale of 1:10 000 to 1:50 000. The data is available for download in several formats, including JSON, KML, CSV, Esri Shape, and XML. Available formats can always be found under OutputFormat in the [GetCapabilities query](https://kartta.hel.fi/ws/geoserver/avoindata/wfs?request=GetCapabilities) for the service. **Data attributes:** - Land use - Administrative and statistical subdivisions - Road categories - Names of sites (Finnish, Swedish) **Coordinate systems:** - MapInfo: ETRS-GK25 (EPSG:3879). - WFS/WMS API: Maintained in ETRS-GK25 (EPSG:3879), can be projected to other coordinate systems. See [GetCapabilities query](https://kartta.hel.fi/ws/geoserver/avoindata/wfs?request=GetCapabilities) for other possible coordinate systems. **API addresses:** - WMS API: [https://kartta.hel.fi/ws/geoserver/avoindata/wms](https://kartta.hel.fi/ws/geoserver/avoindata/wms?request=getCapabilities) - WFS API: [https://kartta.hel.fi/ws/geoserver/avoindata/wfs](https://kartta.hel.fi/ws/geoserver/avoindata/wfs?request=getCapabilities) **Layers:** - Seutukartta_aluejako_kuntarajat - Seutukartta_aluejako_pienalue - Seutukartta_aluejako_suuralue - Seutukartta_aluejako_tilastoalue - Seutukartta_aluejako_helsinki_peruspiirijako - Seutukartta_aluejako_helsinki_osaalue - Seutukartta_liikenne_juna_rata - Seutukartta_liikenne_juna_asema - Seutukartta_liikenne_lentoasemat - Seutukartta_liikenne_metroasemat - Seutukartta_liikenne_metro_rata - Seutukartta_liikenne_paatiet - Seutukartta_liikenne_tiesto - Seutukartta_maankaytto_rakennetut_alueet - Seutukartta_maankaytto_jarvet - Seutukartta_maankaytto_joet - Seutukartta_maankaytto_merialue - Seutukartta_meren_rantaviiva - Seutukartta_maankaytto_teollisuusalueet - Seutukartta_maankaytto_viheralueet - Seutukartta_maankaytto_ja_vesistot - Seutukartta_nimisto_kaupunginosanimet_ruotsi - Seutukartta_nimisto_kaupunginosanimet_suomi - Seutukartta_nimisto_merialue_ruotsi - Seutukartta_nimisto_merialue_suomi - Seutukartta_nimisto_paikannimet_ruotsi - Seutukartta_nimisto_paikannimet_suomi - Seutukartta_yhdistetty_liikennevaylat (only WMS) - Seutukartta_yhdistetty_maankaytto (only WMS) - Seutukartta_yhdistetty_maankaytto_tiesto (only WMS) - Seutukartta_yhdistetty_pienalueet (only WMS) - Seutukartta_yhdistetty_suuralueet (only WMS) - Seutukartta_yhdistetty_tilastoalueet (only WMS)

Questions before production use

Practical answers on evaluation, licensing, freshness, versioning and support.

api.store is built and operated by Apitalks s.r.o. Company details and a direct contact path are linked in the footer for vendor checks and procurement review.
Yes. Selected APIs include a free API quota, so your team can validate coverage, freshness, response shape and workflow fit before asking for a production plan.
Often yes, but usage rights depend on the source license and dataset. We surface source, license and update metadata where available, and can help review terms before a production integration.
Maintained APIs include update metadata where available. For production integrations, we can add history, monitoring and push updates so changes are easier to detect and act on.
Production APIs can add SLA, stable identifiers, versioning support, history, push updates and direct support around the data your product or AI workflow depends on.
