WMS Orthophotos. Institut Cartogràfic i Geològic de Catalunya

Service features

Service features Provisional orthophoto (color and infrared): Orthophoto of the most recent flight that is taking place and that is still pending certain corrections and adjustments to become final.
Definitive orthophoto (color and infrared) organized by time periods corresponding to complete coverage of Catalonia. For the most recent ones, the time period is one year, but older orthophotos indicate the first and last year in which the necessary flights were made to cover all of Catalonia. In the latter case, all the orthophotos can be consulted at the same time (grouped) or by separate layers according to annuity and resolution.
The service also allows to know the flight date and the resolution of a selected site on the orthophoto (using the GetFeatureInfo method).
