Content Title  NSW Basemap Navigation Content Type  Web Map Description The NSW Basemap Navigation theme provides detailed road and street data symbolised with a minimal style over the NSW imagery layer. Initial Publication Date 14/07/2022 Data Currency 15/05/2024 Data Update Frequency  Other  Content Source  Other File Type  Map Feature Service  Attribution    Data Theme, Classification or Relationship to other Datasets    Accuracy  This dataset was captured by digitising the best available cadastral mapping at a variety of scales and accuracies, ranging from 1:500 to 1:250 000 according to the National Mapping Council of Australia, Standards of Map Accuracy (1975). Therefore, the position of the feature instance will be within 0.5mm at map scale for 90% of the well-defined points. That is, 1:500 = 0.25m, 1:2000 = 1m, 1:4000 = 2m, 1:25000 = 12.5m, 1:50000 = 25m and 1:100000 = 50m. A program of positional upgrade (accuracy improvement) is currently underway.

Vector tile layers can adapt to the resolution of a particular display device and can be restyled for multiple uses. The NSW Basemap Navigation theme provides detailed road and street data symbolised with a custom minimal style over the NSW imagery layer.   Web service uses/ fitness for purpose: This web map service allows users to easily integrate the NSW Basemap into spatial platforms and applications and provides a combined view of NSW Foundation Spatial Data. It is Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) compliant and suitable for consumption by common GIS platforms. The web map is regularly updated and will show new information captured or sourced by DCS Spatial Services. All datasets used in this service are authoritative foundational spatial data.
