From 1 December 2009, a new map application is available on the Internet, displaying Estonian land and sea areas. The new map application is the result of cooperation between the Estonian Maritime Administration, the Estonian Land Board and PRIMAR (a worldwide Electronic Navigational Chart service operated by the Norwegian Hydrographic Service), and it is based on the Land Board web map server X‑GIS.

The new map application displays the Estonian Basic Map or the orthophoto. The information given about sea areas is based on electronic navigational charts which rely on the data collected by the MA and the data submitted about ports. The application enables the viewer to get information about depths of sea areas, hazards, AtoN and other details, and no specific hardware or software is required for viewing.

The maps of Estonian sea areas displayed in the new map application are not suitable for navigation. The application can be accessed via the MA website (http://www.vta.ee/atp/?lang=en) and through the Land Board web map server (http://www.maaamet.ee/index.php?lang_id=2&page_id=205&menu_id=91). The direct link to the application can be found here.

Currently the new map application is being tested and, if necessary, changes will be introduced. Further information about the functionality and content of the application can be required by sending an e-mail: kaardirakendus@vta.ee
