Abstract
The Atlas of Switzerland (AoS) is mandated by law by the Swiss Federation to visualise spatially distributed topics from different fields, such as Socio-Economy, Ecology, Traffic, and Energy, in an ongoing long-term project. Since its creation in 1961, the Swiss National Atlas has offered cartographically sound maps in combination with additional information to allow the general public to explore visible and hidden structures and processes. The first printed version, with over 600 maps was produced and published until 1997. From 2000 until 2010, three interactive versions of the AoS were released on CD-ROM / DVD. The third version, contained about 2000 maps with additional time series in 2D maps and 3D mode (block diagrams, prism maps, and panoramic views). It offered a multitude of tools and map functions, including a sky tool, terrain analysis tools, data and map comparison tools, smart legends, and much more. The interactive AoS series was a big success: overall, more than 25,000 copies were distributed during its life span. Mehr anzeigen
