The service provides an overview over chartered/surveyed areas of the Norwegian sea areas. Bathymetry has been collected over a long period, by various actors and with different equipment. In the attribute table of the dataset, there are details such as the year of measurement, mapping method, data owner/which actor collected the data, equipment, echo sounder type, specification, and resolution. This service is based on OGC API Features. OGC API is a group of new standards being developed by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) to make it easier to access geographic data on the web. Not all GIS software has established support for all the new standards, which means that for example one must use a vector tiles connection to this service when using QGIS.

Shaded relief map showing relief on the seabed along with depth indication in blue scale. The map gives a visual understanding of terrain and relative depth, but actual depth values are not available on this map. Only certain coastal areas, where there are bathymetry data from detailed mapping, are represented.
