The map editions are regularly updated with more detailed maps, in some cases with maps not obtainable from any other supplier. For example, the GfK Europe Map Edition is updated annually and provides comprehensive, Europe-wide coverage through high-resolution, overlap-free maps that fit together seamlessly.

Numerous maps in one package

When you order a country- or continent edition, you'll receive numerous maps for each country.

The editions include various so-called "layers" - e.g., CRESTA regions, municipality maps, postcode maps and topographic maps. All maps fit together seamlessly and provide comprehensive coverage.

A particularly noteworthy feature of GfK GeoMarketing's maps is the detailed digitalization, particularly of the coastlines. This is a crucial factor when using the maps for risk modelling, as many insured objects are located in close proximity to coastlines.
