Known gaps, stated plainly
What is not here, and why. These lines come from the app and are removed the day a layer ships.
- Water protection zones, heritage, spatial plans, the cadastre, invasive species and marine habitats are listed but cannot be opened yet: their publishers' own records give no clear licence. We have asked each of them, and the layers unlock here the moment one says yes.
- Restricted species records are not in the app: the Nature Conservation Agency does not publish them. Important Bird Areas and hiking trails are not included; no openly licensed service publishes them.
