Buildings

As ÍslandsDEM is a surface model, it already contains building footprints.

Bridges and underpasses

Bridges and underpasses block flow paths in the national elevation model. In order to model water flow correctly, "hydrological corrections" may be necessary. These can e.g. be made through workspaces in SCALGO Live.

Base map and aerial photography

The default map view when you go to SCALGO Live shows an overview map from Mapbox. The street names and place labels are sourced from OpenStreetMap. You also have the option of viewing Aerial photography provided by Mapbox.
