Core offering

Landesamt für Vermessung und Geobasisinformation Rheinland-Pfalz (LVermGeo) is the official state agency responsible for collecting, maintaining, and providing official geobasis data for the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Its core offering includes the official land registry (Liegenschaftskataster/ALKIS), surveying services (property surveys, boundary determinations, building measurements), the SAPOS satellite positioning service using GPS/GLONASS/Galileo, geotopographic products (digital terrain models, 3D building models, aerial imagery, digital topographic maps), and property valuation data (land value maps, market reports). Products and services are delivered through an online Geoshop, map viewer, geoportal, six regional cadastral offices, and 14 service/administrative locations.

Product overview

The Vermessungs- und Katasterverwaltung Rheinland-Pfalz (VermKV) operates as a state surveying and cadastre administration providing a comprehensive geoinformation portfolio organized into four core product areas: (1) Vermessungstechnischer Raumbezug — centering on the SAPOS® satellite positioning service and fixed-point networks; (2) Geotopografie — covering 3D geodata (digital terrain models, laser point clouds, 3D building models), aerial photography and orthophotos, digital landscape models (Basis-DLM, DLM50), digital topographic maps at scales 1:5,000 to 1:100,000, district maps, and historical maps; (3) Liegenschaftskataster — property cadastre data including house coordinates, automated property data retrieval, and hunting-association data; and (4) Wertermittlung — property valuation products such as land value maps (Bodenrichtwerte) and property market reports (Grundstücksmarktberichte). Access to these products is delivered through multiple platforms: the Geoshop.rlp e-commerce portal, the maps.rlp.de map viewer, the GeoPortal.rlp geoportal, the Rheinland-Pfalz in 3D 3D viewer, the MetaPortal.rlp metadata portal, the GDI-RP geodata infrastructure, and the BORIS.RLP valuation system. Open Data is freely available for download, while proprietary products are subject to fees under the GebVermGAVO framework.

Direct peers

• IGN (Institut national de l'information géographique et forestière): France's national geographic and forest information institute, providing authoritative geobasis data, cadastral products (PCI), and national 3D coverage (LiDAR HD). Directly comparable in mandate, scale of national geodata production, and distribution model.
• Bundesamt für Kartographie und Geodäsie (BKG): Germany's federal mapping and geodesy agency, performing the same surveying, geobasis data, and cadastre-coordination role as LVermGeo RLP at the national level. Directly comparable in mandate, technology stack (AFIS/ALKIS/ATKIS, SAPOS-style positioning), and customer base (federal agencies, states, professionals).
• Landesamt für Vermessung und Geobasisinformation Brandenburg (LGB): Brandenburg's state surveying and geobasis information agency, a fellow Landesamt within the AdV working group. Directly comparable as another state-level Vermessungsverwaltung producing ALKIS data, 3D building models, geotopography, and SAPOS services for its own state territory.
• Kadaster: The Netherlands' land registry and mapping agency, providing cadastral data, topographic maps, and key registers for property and geography. Directly comparable as a state-run cadastral/geobasis provider with online ordering, open data, and subscription services.
• swisstopo (Bundesamt für Landestopografie): Switzerland's national mapping agency, providing official cadastral, topographic, and 3D geodata with online shop and open-data offerings. Directly comparable as a state-run geobasis provider with advanced 3D visualization (SwissBUILDINGS3D) and a fee-regulated product catalog.
• Landesamt für Geoinformation und Landentwicklung Baden-Württemberg (LGL BW): Baden-Württemberg's state geoinformation agency, providing land registry, geotopography, 3D data, and surveying services through a comparable Geoshop, map viewer, and SAPOS infrastructure. Directly comparable state-level peer within the AdV framework.
• Landesamt für Geoinformation und Landesvermessung Niedersachsen (LGLN): Lower Saxony's state geoinformation office, offering the same combination of ALKIS cadastral data, geotopography, SAPOS positioning, and Geoshop-style online distribution. Directly comparable in scope, products, and GDI-RP-style infrastructure role.

Broad incumbents

• HERE Technologies: Private-sector location data and geospatial platform company serving automotive, logistics, and enterprise customers with map and positioning services. Comparable as a geospatial platform operator, though not a public-sector provider; it consumes and competes with state geobasis data.
• Ordnance Survey: The UK's national mapping agency, offering authoritative geodata, OS Maps, and master map products via APIs and licensing. Comparable in official-data mandate and product breadth, but operates as a government-owned commercial entity rather than a state office.

Others

• Esri (Environmental Systems Research Institute): Global GIS software and platform provider used widely by surveying authorities, governments, and enterprises. Comparable as a geospatial technology ecosystem peer — Esri's ArcGIS stack is a common platform beneath state surveying portals, making it an enabling/adjoining technology rather than a direct cadastral competitor.
