Online map services such as Google Maps are playing an increasingly important role in the search for information on the Internet. The city of Bocholt also offers its citizens and service providers digital web and map services: the geodata portal Bocholt Maps.

The diverse functions of the geodata portal will be demonstrated at the event, including the geodata apps, thematic maps and the digital 3D city model, which enables a virtual flight over Bocholt.

Information on tourism, leisure activities and planning and construction projects is also available. This includes standard land values, current building sites in the city area, the determination of areas and coordinates as well as the possibility of downloading development plans.
