Landcover100Map is a digital version of the NGI’s topographic cartography on a scale of 1 :100 000. The images come from the symbolisation of the objects and the themes in the topo-geographic inventory of the Belgian territory (ITGI), which is built and kept up-to-date by the NGI. Landcover100Map is meant for a regional use on a larger scale than the one for Top50Map, typically on the scale of a province. The land use theme is very salient in this topographic cartography. The relief is represented by shadowing.

'Top10Vector – Particular Zones' is the vector dataset covering areas within Belgium that are designated for a specific purpose. This dataset contains just one feature type [ZO_particularzone]. The dataset can be downloaded via the links in 'Access' at the bottom of this page.

The entities included in the dataset represent the Belgian rail transport network in the sense of the Inspire European directive. The dataset comprises several classes and is in accordance with the INSPIRE specifications. The RailLink class represents, in a linear manner, all of the rail links between each pair of dots for the network considered. The RailwayStationNode class represents occasionally all of the stations located along the network. In addition to this are two classes without geometry. The RailwatType class ranks the segments according to the type of rail transport for which they were designed. All the segments for this dataset belong to the train category. The "RailwaytElectrification" class lists the segments according to whether they are electrified or not.

‘Top10Vector – High-voltage network’ is the vector dataset for the Belgian high-tension grid. The dataset consists of 2 feature types: high-voltage line segments [HT_hightensionlinesegment] and high-voltage pylons [HT_powerpylon]. The dataset can be downloaded via the links in 'Access' at the bottom of this page.

The data set contains a seamless polygonal layer representing the land cover in Belgium for the year 2018. The dataset is INSPIRE compliant.
-
Network of marks whose planimetric coordinates are known with precision according to the reference systems which are used in Belgium.

The European Urban Atlas provides reliable, inter-comparable, high-resolution land use and land cover data for 800 Functional Urban Area (FUA) for the 2012 reference year in EEA39 countries. This datasets contains the FUA for Belgium (Antwerpen, Brugge, Bruxelles_Brussel, Charleroi, Gent, Kortrijk, Leuven, Liege, Mons, Namur and Oostende).

Top250Map is a digital version of the NGI’s topographic cartography on a scale of 1:250 000. It is the smallest scale used by the NGI to produce a cartographic representation of Belgium. It focuses mainly on inhabited places and transport networks. The whole territory is available in one single file. This map is characterized by the great number of toponyms of inhabited places.

The product is made of 6 "high resolution layers" covering all the Belgian territory as part of a European-wide coverage. The 6 layers concern 6 distinct themes: Imperviousness, Tree cover density, Forest type, Permanent grasslands, Wetlands and Permanent waterbodies. The 6 layers were produced by an automatic classification based on satellite images and collateral data and achieved by private companies (EEA service providers), and they were verified and enhanced by Belgium. At the Belgian level, verification and enhancements were made by AGIV for the northern part and SPW for the southern part. The NGI coordinated the project.

s'Top10Vector – Hydrography' is the dataset of the Belgian hydrography. This dataset comprises 6 feature types. The basis of the hydrographic network is formed by watercourse segments [HY_watercoursesegment]. The surface of larger watercourses is represented by watercourse surfaces [HY_watercoursesurface]. Water surfaces [HY_watersurface] and wetlands [HY_wetland] are also included in the dataset. Water points [HY_waterpoint] are point features where water reaches the land surface naturally or disappears into the subsoil. Another type of point feature is the kilometre marker [HY_waterwaykilometremarker]. The dataset can be downloaded via the links in 'Access' at the bottom of this page.
