Parcel GPS layer

The Parcel GPS layer displays a cadastral parcel on a map using its cadastral reference. Unlike SIGPAC, it is not limited to Spain: the editor lets you choose among the country coverages currently exposed by the Parcel GPS API.

Where to configure it

Open a dashboard, create or edit a datapanel, select Map, and open the Map layers section. Choose Add layer and then Add Parcel GPS parcel.

Configure these fields:

Spain uses references such as 23058A00700036 or 9872023VH5797S0001WX. Other coverages use their own formats; for example, Navarra uses MUNICIPIO-POLÍGONO-PARCELA, and Austria uses KATASTRALGEMEINDE-GRUNDSTÜCK.

Supported country coverages

The editor currently offers:

• ES — Spain
• PV — Basque Country
• NA — Navarre
• PT — Portugal
• FR — France
• IT — Italy
• DE — Germany
• AT — Austria

Coverage depends on the cadastral data available in each country. The Parcel GPS API reports when a reference is invalid, unavailable or outside the selected coverage.

How the layer behaves

Visamic requests the parcel through the backend when the map displays the layer. The backend keeps the Parcel GPS API key private and caches successful lookups briefly to avoid repeating the same external request. The polygon is rendered on the map and the view fits its bounds. Moving or zooming the map does not issue another Parcel GPS request.

Visamic allows a maximum of 5 uncached Parcel GPS lookups per organization and month. Cached lookups do not consume this limit.

When the organization reaches its monthly limit, the map continues to receive the organization's last successful Parcel GPS lookup until the usage period resets. If the organization has not completed a successful lookup in the current period, the quota error is shown.

Click the polygon to see the returned cadastral reference and, when available, its province, municipality, polygon and parcel values.
