+Arne1 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Hi, We look for polygons for sorting caches according to the Finnish provinces (maakunnat) and then for viewing in statistics maps. Is there any such data file available or will we have to click on the map (about OSM?)? Quote Link to comment
+arisoft Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) List of Finnish municipalities and provinces is available from Wikipedia Official polygons for each municipality is available from Municipal division Consulting OSM may be the easiest approach depending on accuracy requirements but the exact data is available as noted.

+Arne1 Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 Thanks for the tip... But it is terribly surprising that geocachers in Finland do not have such a set of polygons made and we have to do it in the Czech Republic. Quote Link to comment
+arisoft Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I can share your surprise. Provinces are not very stable system in Finland. Several changes have been made and new ones will be done in future because this is just a political division, not a long term tradition. http://www.geocache.fi/ can display statistics based on municipalities and provinces. Maybe you can find help from there. Quote Link to comment
+Arne1 Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 Currently, i have converted polygon data from National Land Survey of Finlant to format for geocaching programs - GeoGet or GSAK. Quote Link to comment
