    Choose a map of Finland according to the task. The National Land Survey's Karttapaikka is useful for terrain maps and aerial imagery, Paikkatietoikkuna for comparing datasets, Fintraffic for road conditions, and Luontoon for outdoor route information. A single map view does not answer all these questions.

    Which map should you open first?

    Karttapaikka provides National Land Survey terrain maps, aerial images and property boundaries. Paikkatietoikkuna also brings together other providers' datasets. Choose according to whether you want to locate a place or examine information about it.

    SuomiGuide's article on Finland's location provides the broad geographical picture. Then locate a precise destination using its address or place name.

    Outdoor maps and winter routes

    Luontoon advises reading the destination map and route description. Some national parks have marked winter hiking routes. A ski trail and a walking route are not automatically interchangeable.

    Metsähallitus's winter guidance recommends a paper map, compass and the skills to use them: cold affects phone batteries and reception is not available everywhere. A waterbody drawn on a map does not establish that its ice will support a person.

    SuomiGuide's winter national-park guide offers destination ideas. Use Luontoon for the location's current route and access instructions.

    Sharing and printing a map

    Paikkatietoikkuna's tools can create a link to a map view and produce an image or printout. A shared link helps show someone the selected area.

    Its terms require a screenshot or printout to identify Paikkatietoikkuna, the month and year, and the visible layer names and data providers. Record these details when creating the image. Instructions and terms checked on 13 November 2026.

    Frequently asked questions

    In Karttapaikka, the National Land Survey's service.

    Karttapaikka focuses on National Land Survey material. Paikkatietoikkuna also includes layers from other providers.

    Not always. Paikkatietoikkuna's Porvoonkatu example illustrates identical street names in different municipalities.

    Another layer may cover it. Check layer order and transparency.

    In Fintraffic's Traffic Situation service and road-weather cameras.

    Luontoon directs visitors to winter routes and destination descriptions. A line on a map alone does not establish winter suitability.

    Luontoon also recommends a paper map, compass and the ability to use them.

    The service has a tool for this. Include the source and date details required by its terms.
