Kartbanken
Kartbanken is our online shop for map and engineering design data. You draw the area you need in the map, choose a product and file format, and get the data delivered by email. The price is calculated from the product and the area before you order.
Kartbanken is currently a separate solution with its own log-in at kartbanken.propcloud.no.

Who Kartbanken is for
Architects, design engineers and consulting engineers who need base data for a specific project area: terrain with contour lines, buildings, roads and property boundaries in a format that opens straight in your CAD or GIS tool. One order covers one area, and you pay per order. The user account is free.
Products
All products come from Kartverket. You choose the file format per product, and you can include several products in the same order.
| Product | Content | File format |
|---|---|---|
| FKB with 1 m contour lines | FKB, the most detailed map data, with contour lines for every metre | Shape, DWG |
| N5K | Map data adapted to the 1:5,000 scale | Shape, DWG |
| N20K | Map data adapted to the 1:20,000 scale | Shape, DWG |
| Orthophoto 10 cm, 15 cm and 20 cm | Aerial photos with the stated ground resolution | JPEG |
| Laser | Point cloud from laser scanning | LAS, LAZ |
| EiendomEier | Property data from the matrikkel | Shape, DWG |
| Administrative boundaries | Kommune and county boundaries | Shape, DWG |

Shape opens in GIS tools such as QGIS and ArcGIS, DWG in CAD programs such as AutoCAD and Revit. LAS and LAZ are point cloud formats. LAZ is the compressed variant and gives smaller files. If you are unsure which format your project needs, you can tick both.
