Geodata and maps

Maps and geographic information that helps you make better decisions

Many decisions concerning land, properties, infrastructure, the environment and investments have a geographic dimension. With up-to-date, quality-assured geodata, it becomes easier to understand a location, analyse conditions and make well-informed decisions.

Metria collects, processes, quality-assures and provides access to geographic information from a wide range of sources. We help you obtain the right geodata in the right format and make the information useful in your operations.


What is geodata?

Geodata is information linked to a geographic location. It can, for example, include information about property boundaries, buildings, roads, forests, water, utility networks, natural assets or changes in land and terrain.

A considerable amount of work goes into producing and maintaining this data, including data collection, quality control, processing, analysis and continuous updates. Information from multiple sources is often combined to provide an accurate and useful representation of real-world conditions, making it possible to identify geographic relationships and compare different locations.

For reliable decision-making, the quality, accuracy and currency of the underlying data are essential.

How geodata is used in practice

Every day, decisions large and small are made based on geographic information. For example, geodata can help answer questions such as:

  • What is located at a particular site, within a specific area or along a route – and who owns the property?
  • What is a building worth, and how does it affect your portfolio?
  • How will a decision affect different stakeholders?
  • What natural assets are present at the location, and how could a decision affect the climate or biodiversity?
  • Does one location offer advantages over another – or are there risks that could affect the property and those concerned?

Metria’s role is to make advanced geographic information easy to use. Whether you work in urban and infrastructure development, environmental management, forestry, energy or property development, we help you access the right information, in the right place, at the right time.

Collecting, updating, quality-assuring and managing geodata requires both expertise and technical infrastructure. Metria manages large volumes of geographic information every day and delivers it as data, maps and integrated services.

Metria offers:

  • Quality-assured data: Metria regularly retrieves geodata directly from its sources and quality-assures it before it is stored. This prevents corrupt data from reaching your organisation and provides confidence in every delivery.
  • Flexible data formats: Metria delivers data in formats that suit your needs, making it easier to integrate geodata into your own applications and systems.
  • Property information: Accurate and up-to-date property information is a key part of our services. Read more about our property information here. [LINK]

  • Reliable services: Metria provides professional, high-performance and reliable data services operated in Metria’s own environment in Sweden.
