In spring 2025, the National Land Survey of Finland deployed a new topographic data production system. The implementation has been described as exceptionally successful — possibly the best in the organisation’s history. The rollout was completed without any production disruptions, which is rare for such large-scale reforms.
This new open-source based system enables more efficient and up-to-date maintenance of the national topographic data and the production of general map products.
Can gamification and crowdsourcing help collect topographic data? In Finland, a nationwide smartphone game, Pyykkijahti (Marker Quest), was used to test this.
