It will be the BaseMap, on basis of which it will be possible creating maps of scales 1:2000 and 1:10 000. The work is being carried out by the National Public Registry Agency with the support of the Norwegian and Swedish States. For more clarity Norwegian web-map is being presented as an example. The most important fact is that the map will be placed on a site that will make it public and accessible to all interested parties. First of all 3D digital web-map is an important prerequisite for developing cartography field in Georgia. It represents great state importance, as electronic maps are more or less required for the normal functioning of all ministries and various civil services.
