What Główny Urząd Geodezji i Kartografii does

Główny Urząd Geodezji i Kartografii (GUGiK, the Main Office of Geodesy and Cartography) is the central government office of the Republic of Poland responsible for national geodetic and cartographic infrastructure. It maintains the authoritative national spatial data systems, including the Geoportal (the primary public portal for Polish geospatial data), the ASG-EUPOS GNSS reference station network providing high-precision positioning services, the EMUiA national address register (Ewidencja Miejscowości, Ulic i Adresów), the Uniwersalny Moduł Mapowy (Universal Mapping Module) for configurable map visualization, and the Krajowa Mapa Zagrożeń Bezpieczeństwa (National Security Threats Map). The office also administers the professional licensing regime for licensed surveyors, including examination scheduling, qualification processing, and disciplinary oversight. It coordinates spatial data infrastructure compliant with the EU INSPIRE directive and convenes advisory bodies including Rada Infrastruktury Informacji Przestrzennej and Państwowa Rada Geodezyjna i Kartograficzna.

GUGiK executes a portfolio of EU-funded and national modernization projects: Smart Geoportal (portal modernization), Integracja PZGiK (consolidation of Polish Geodetic and Cartographic Resources), RTGMS (real-time GNSS monitoring for deformation and infrastructure surveillance, with ESA and IŁ collaboration), INFOSTRATEG (strategic technology research), Cyberbezpieczny Rząd (cybersecurity hardening of government systems), and POPC (Operational Program Digital Poland). The agency's core technology stack comprises spatial data infrastructure, geospatial information systems, GNSS positioning systems, and national mapping and geodetic reference networks.

As a government state entity under the Council of Ministers, GUGiK is funded through the Polish state budget and EU co-funding rather than commercial revenue. Pricing for core geodetic and cartographic data access is regulated under Polish public finance law, with basic data generally free and specialized services subject to statutory fees. The office operates from its headquarters at Żurawia 6/12 in Warsaw and serves Polish public administration, licensed geodesists and surveyors, and — indirectly through intermediary government platforms — the general public and commercial users requiring address verification and spatial information.

Core offering

Główny Urząd Geodezji i Kartografii (GUGiK) is the central government office of Poland responsible for national geodesy, cartography, and spatial data infrastructure. It operates the Geoportal (national spatial data infrastructure portal), the ASG-EUPOS GNSS reference station network, the EMUiA national register of localities/streets/addresses, and conducts professional licensing and qualification processes for surveyors. The office also coordinates EU-funded modernization programs and ensures compliance with the EU INSPIRE directive.

Product overview

Główny Urząd Geodezji i Kartografii (GUGiK) is Poland's central government agency responsible for geodesy, cartography, and spatial data infrastructure. The agency operates a unified platform of geospatial systems anchored by Geoportal as the primary public portal, supported by ASG-EUPOS for satellite positioning services, EMUiA (Ewidencja Miejscowości, Ulic i Adresów) for the national address register, and Uniwersalny Moduł Mapowy for configurable map visualization. Additional services include the Krajowa Mapa Zagrożeń Bezpieczeństwa for security threat mapping and the Portal Informacyjny Służby Geodezyjnej i Kartograficznej for professional resources. GUGiK also manages multiple EU-funded projects including Smart Geoportal (modernization), Integracja PZGiK (data integration), RTGMS (real-time GNSS monitoring), INFOSTRATEG (research), Cyberbezpieczny Rząd (cybersecurity), and POPC (digital Poland operational program). The agency provides administrative services for surveyor licensing through the Uprawnienia geodezyjne system. GUGiK collaborates with the Rada Infrastruktury Informacji Przestrzennej (Spatial Information Infrastructure Council) and Państwowa Rada Geodezyjna i Kartograficzna (PRGiK) for policy guidance.

Direct peers

• Kadaster: Netherlands' land registry and mapping agency providing cadastral, address, and geospatial data services — directly comparable in mandate (authoritative land and address information) and EU INSPIRE alignment.
• Lantmäteriet: Sweden's land mapping, cadastral and land registration authority — directly comparable national geodetic, mapping, and address data provider operating GNSS reference station networks.
• Bundesamt für Kartographie und Geodäsie (BKG): Germany's federal agency for cartography and geodesy, providing national geodetic reference systems, geospatial data, and mapping services — analogous role and infrastructure to GUGiK within a federal system.
• Kartverket: Norwegian Mapping Authority operating national geodetic, hydrographic, and cadastral services — directly comparable Nordic counterpart with active GNSS positioning network (CPOS/DPOS) analogous to ASG-EUPOS.
• swisstopo: Switzerland's federal topography office responsible for national geodetic reference, mapping, and geospatial data infrastructure — directly comparable central authority with similar GNSS positioning and national map portal offerings.
• ČÚZK (Czech Office for Surveying, Mapping and Cadastre): Czech Republic's central surveying, mapping and cadastre office — closest regional peer in CEE with near-identical mandate, regulatory structure, and product portfolio (national geodetic network, address register, geoportal).
• Institut national de l'information géographique et forestière (IGN): France's national geographic and forest information institute, operating Geoportail as its national spatial data infrastructure portal — directly comparable national mapping authority with similar INSPIRE-aligned mandate.
• Ordnance Survey: UK's national mapping agency, operating as a government-owned entity providing authoritative geospatial data, addressing, and mapping services — directly comparable in role, mandate, and product portfolio (national geodetic reference, address data, mapping portal) to GUGiK.
• National Land Survey of Finland (Maanmittauslaitos): Finland's national land survey and cadastral authority providing geodetic reference, mapping, and address data — directly comparable national geodetic infrastructure provider.

Broad incumbents

• United States Geological Survey (USGS): U.S. federal science agency for national mapping, geospatial data, and earth observation — comparable in authoritative national geospatial role but significantly broader scientific scope than GUGiK's surveying/cartography focus.
