Now the cartography project for the flight division of the Icelandic Coast Guard is finished. Maps were formally handed over in march 2014.<\/p>\n

The maps are specially equipped for the helicopter team needs in mind, highlighting the factors that increase their safety in flight. The main objects highlighted are telecommunications towers and power lines . Also prepared was an extensive collection walksways and trailes spanning over 1100 trails all around Iceland.<\/p>\n

Data from the telecommunications companies and others who have masts in their control, tripled the number of telecommunications towers from open data. In addition, data from the Icelandic Hydrographic Service , lighthouses , buoys , depth lines and other lines in the sea is made \u200b\u200bvisible , but such information helps the helicopter crew in search of the sea .<\/p>\n

Also on the maps are locations of flight beacons for IFR flight and information for the helocopters regarding flight over Iceland.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With the collection of information collected for those specialized maps, where the views of aviation safety , searching both at sea and inland is combined into one map collection.<\/p>\n

Screen shots below show the main elements of the maps where the information in question appear on the map.<\/p>\n
