Download- and Viewing Service
Open data for road-, railway-, and waterway netwrok can be accessed through the Download- and Viewing Service.
In the download service one can view and download data through a map interface. The user can choose which data to download and from what area. After selecting the service sends an e-mail -link, where the user can download the dataset. Data is available in shapefile (.shp) -format.
