Map layers: activate and search the specialist layers
Activate and combine specialist map layers — planning data, protections, environment, road networks and cadastral data. Search by layer name, choose status (Adopted, Proposal, Cancelled) and save your own layer combinations.
The map can display a large library of specialist layers — planning data, protections, environment, road networks, cadastral data and much more — on top of the regular map. You enable them from the Map Layers panel, where you either browse the groups or search directly for a layer name. Frequently used combinations can be saved, so you bring up your entire analysis setup with a single click.
1Open the Map Layers panel
Go to Map in the left sidebar and find the layers button in the bottom-right corner of the map:
Layers
The Map Layers panel slides in from the side. Once you enable one or more layers, the button shows a small counter with the number of active layers, so you can always tell whether layers are drawn on top of the map.
Search map layers…
Personal layers Public layers
2Search for a layer
With so many layers, search is the fastest route. Type in the field at the top of the panel:
Search map layers…
The list filters instantly, and only groups with matching layers are shown. If the search finds nothing, it reads No map layers found — try a shorter or more general search term.
Search a partial word such as "forest", "noise" or "local plan" to quickly gather all related layers, no matter which group they sit in.
3Browse the groups
When the search field is empty, the layers are organized into thematic groups under Public layers. Click a group to expand it:
Points of interest New Plans Cadastral layers Protections Agency for Culture and Palaces Contamination Danish Elevation Model GeoDanmark Danish Agricultural Agency Supply Administrative boundaries Road and Path Register (CVF) Noise Other
Tick the checkbox next to a layer to draw it on the map. You can combine layers across groups — for example Local plans on top of Cadastral layers to see planning data against property boundaries.
4Choose the status of planning layers
Many planning layers exist in several versions. Expand the layer to choose the status you want to see:
Adopted Proposal Cancelled
The same three statuses recur for Municipal plan frameworks, Sub-areas, Building plot and Zoning, among others. By default the adopted version is shown, so you work from the planning rules currently in force — switch on Proposal when you want to see plans in the pipeline.
5Save a layer combination
Found a setup you use often? Save it under Personal layers:
- Click Save combination.
- Give the combination a name in the Combination name… field.
- Click Save.
The saved combination appears under My combinations, and you re-activate all the layers with a single click next time.
Want to clear the map again? Use Deselect all to switch off every active layer at once, or Reset to start over.
