With the WMS, the surveying and cadastral administration (VKV) Lower Saxony provides the official maps as grid data for the application over the Internet in the form of a web map service in version 1.1.1. It is also possible to access this data via an OGC interface with a geographical information system (GIS) available to the user with appropriate software. This allows the spatial data to be combined, e.g. with data of the user, to create own representations based on the most up-to-date spatial data basis. A separate data storage for geo-based data and the associated administrative effort is therefore unnecessary for the user. To use the Web Map Service, a user agreement with the VKV must be concluded.
