Map layers · 19 layers
Infrastructure, layer by layer over the property.
The Infrastructure category brings together technical infrastructure such as bridges, power grids, water and sewer pipes, broadband, public transport stops and administrative boundaries. The layers help you map what exists in and around a plan area, assess connection options and identify infrastructure that may affect a development.

Layer by layer
What each layer shows
Bridges
Planned, newly built, demolished, trafficked and closed bridges from NVDB. Useful for mapping access conditions to a property and for identifying whether planned measures depend on a bridge with limited capacity or weight limits. Planned, newly built, demolished, trafficked, non-trafficked and closed bridges. The map layer is based on data from NVDB (the national road database). Included use categories: Road bridge (12k) Bridge in embankment (5k) Tunnel/road canopy (2k) Pedestrian and cycle bridge (1.5k) Retaining structure (1k) Ferry berth (600) Railway bridge (230) Other structure category (200)
Broadband coverage
Broadband coverage for buildings, grouped into speed classes, from Nkom (Nasjonal kommunikasjonsmyndighet). Useful for commercial property assessments where broadband capacity is critical (data centres, office buildings, logistics terminals), and for residential assessments in rural areas where fibre coverage varies. Shows broadband coverage for buildings, grouped into different speed classes. The coverage map is based on data reported by broadband providers to Nkom's coverage survey. Note that the map may contain errors in some cases. Read more about broadband coverage at Nkom: Nkom – Bredbånd i Norge 2022
Fibre coverage
Share of households offered fibre at 1 Gbit/s, from Nkom's coverage survey. The layer has five views: household points, 250 m and 1000 m grids, municipality and county. Darker green means a higher share. The layer shows where fibre is offered, not who supplies it. Nkom publishes coverage aggregated across providers, and no open source names the supplier at an address. Use it to see whether an area has been built out, not to decide who to call.
Counties' borders
An overview of the counties, their codes and boundaries. Data from Kartverket. The map layer gives an overview of the counties, their codes and boundaries.
Municipality Borders
An overview of the municipalities, their codes and boundaries. Data from Kartverket. The map layer gives an overview of the municipalities, their codes and boundaries.
Infrastructure buildings
All building types associated with infrastructure, from the matrikkel. Shows all building types linked to infrastructure from the matrikkel. Building geometry comes from FKB. Transport Traffic supervision building Lighthouse station, pilot station Railway and metro station Other dispatch and terminal building Dispatch building, air terminal, control tower Other road and traffic supervision building Water and sewage Building for water supply Building for treatment plant Public toilet Parking Other garage/hangar building Multi-storey car park
Fuel stations
Chain, number of employees and accounts (also in Business). Data from Geodata AS. Chain, number of employees and accounts where available. Weekly updates when the owner updates.
Post offices and postal locations
An overview of post offices, Post i Butikk, parcel lockers and postal locations. Data from Geodata AS. Shows post offices, post in store and other postal locations in Norway. The dataset covers both dedicated post offices and postal locations at grocery chains. Supplied by Geodata AS, with Enhetsregisteret as the source for the company details.
Grid installations
All lines, cables and substations registered in Netbas (Volue), the national power grid register. Includes the distribution grid, regional grid, transmission grid, subsea cables, towers and poles. Identical to the layer in Energy. Datasets: Grid installations. Digitised lines, cables and substations in Netbas (publicly available data only). Updated continuously by NVE.
Substations, towers, poles & licences
Substations, towers, poles and licences from Norges vassdrags- og energidirektorat (NVE). Datasets: Substations, towers, poles & licences. The location of substations, towers/poles and related licences from NVE's grid installation dataset (public subset). Weekly updates when the owner updates.
Public transport stops
Bus, metro, tram, train and ferry/port from Entur. Shows the physical location of stops and stations. Also available in Transport and communications and part of the Family and accessibility combination in Map layer. Datasets: Public transport stops. Bus, metro, tram, train and ferry/port stops from Entur. Weekly updates when the source updates.
NADAG – ground investigations
The national database for geotechnical ground investigations from Norges geologiske undersøkelse (NGU). Shows the location of boreholes, sampling and stability analyses carried out by municipalities, Statens vegvesen and private parties. Useful for seeing whether existing geotechnical data are available on or near a plot, which can reduce the cost of a new ground investigation. The national database for geotechnical investigations (boreholes), operated by NGU in cooperation with partners. The amount of information per data point varies depending on the supplier.
Petroleum Infrastructure

The pipe network visible at ground level. Data from Norges vassdrags- og energidirektorat (NVE). Datasets: Manhole cover, drain and hydrant. Contains the pipe network that is visible at the ground surface (manhole cover, drain and hydrant), not the complete pipe network. The map layer is based on LedningVA from FKB.

About the datasetHow do I turn on the infrastructure layers in Fusion?
Click Map layers at the top right of the map, select the category in the list on the left and turn on the layer. You can have several layers on at once, over the same property.
Where do the layers come from?
The sources are listed in the table above. They include Statens vegvesen, Geodata AS, Nasjonal kommunikasjonsmyndighet (Nkom) and Kartverket. Datasets: Counties' borders. Each layer shows its source and date.
Can I get the same data programmatically?
Yes. The datasets behind the layers are available in the Placepoint API and in Placepoint AI through MCP.
Other categories
The layers and descriptions come from the documentation, synced 16 October 2026.
