Positioning on the map is done manually, either with the current GPS position or by entering an address.
Its mobility makes i-InfoTerre is a valuable addition to BRGM services for delivering geo-environmental information. Immediate responses to questions about your environment:
- Are there any groundwater abstraction points in the vicinity and what is the abstraction depth?
- Are there any former industrial sites around the lot where I intend to build my house?
- Are there any subsidence risks to my home?
- Is there any ground instability in my area?
- What is the geological formation below me?
