Yes. SmartMaps combines weather forecasts directly with its own vector maps, allowing weather information to be visualised in its geographic context. This is ideal for interactive weather maps, weather-based route planning, and location dashboards.

Typical applications include service planning for sales forces, logistics and route planning, risk assessments for heavy rainfall or strong winds, weather-dependent energy management, agriculture, event planning and tourism, as well as information portals for local weather data.

The foundation is based on ICON weather data from the German Weather Service (DWD) and is supplemented by data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). This combination of multiple officially validated sources provides accurate and reliable weather forecasts worldwide.
