Administrative boundaries

In the map of the administrative borders, we represent the global coverage of administrative regions from the OSM data. These range from country borders on counties to municipalities and individual districts. Also the zip codes are switchable.

About a fold selection bar to the left of the map the respective administrative hierarchies or administrative units can be selected via checkboxes. After selection they are shown in the map worldwide.

The more you zoom into the map, the more details and information will be displayed. The distribution of the respective administrative regions is at any time visible over colored areas on the world map and allows an overview of the world's existing data and the existing gaps.

Descending the administrative boundaries are shown as red to yellow. Districts are highlighted in green.
