Furthermore, an aerial photo from the state surveying organization, provided by the State Office for Geoinformation and Land Development (LGL), is accessible through the layer list within the table of contents.

People commonly refer to the aerial photo from the state surveying organization as FDOP, which stands for Color Digital Orthophoto.

*Please note that the FDOP is only visible once you reach a certain zoom level. To activate the FDOP, you need to first zoom in on the map using the mouse wheel to enlarge it.*
