HK Map Service 2.0 provides one-stop platform for map products and land survey records
The Lands Department (LandsD) announced today (August 28) that a new website, Hong Kong Map Service 2.0 (HKMS 2.0), has been launched to provide a one-stop platform for map products and land survey records for the public.
A spokesperson for the LandsD said that HKMS 2.0 offers different types of digital and paper map products. In addition, the website has a newly introduced digital version of land survey records, including digital images of Lot Index Plan and Demarcation District Sheets, as well as a product preview function. These features help promote the use of digital products, save paper and protect the environment.
"Through HKMS 2.0, the public can easily search for lot and location information anytime and anywhere. They can also download various types of digital maps, aerial photos and land survey records after making payment," the spokesperson said.
"HKMS2.0 has streamlined the ordering process and no registration is required for purchasing paper map products. The new website is also connected with the Application Programming Interface of Hongkong Post's delivery service, which will deliver paper map products to designated locations. The public no longer have to visit the LandsD's Map Publications Centres for making purchases."
Members of the public can register and log on to HKMS 2.0 via designated social media accounts and share product information. Apart from supporting browsers on different Internet platforms, HKMS 2.0 is equipped with responsive web design and cloud technology to ensure stable and smooth services.
