The Raster Maps service draws the map content separately layer by layer. Therefore it is possible to request several data layers separately or to combine them in the following order:
| background - the background areas such as forests, building areas or oceans | ![]() |
| transport - the transportation network with all types of roads | ![]() |
| labels - the labeling of the map showing city names, road names as well as road signs | ![]() |
Beside these base layers there are further use case dependent layers:
