GeoMeta WMS – information about the cadastral surveying
The GeoMeta web map service provides information about the status of the cadastral surveying, together with details relating to individual plots of land.
Product description
GeoMeta WMS is an Internet service that depicts the status of the cadastral surveying and the plots of land currently being processed throughout Switzerland. It also provides information about who is responsible for updating data and where, for example, a plan for the land register can be ordered, as well as the address of the relevant land registry office.
This cartographic online service can be used in combination with other maps in a broad variety of applications and geographic information system (GIS) tools. Despite its limited options for use, it is possible to obtain a great deal of information about cadastral surveying data with the aid of this service.

The data are constantly updated, depending on the canton, though updates have to be carried out at least twice a year.
