The development and the usage of National Land Survey of Finland's dynamic and high performance map production system is described in this presentation. The system is currently in use and serves map images both to customers and to NLSFI production systems. The data in the map production system are open data and being updated on a weekly basis. When the data get updated, a RSS-feed is generated. Based on the feed, the map products are updated. Data is stored, updated and replicated in PostGIS. Map pictures are rendered in GeoServer. The visualization of the maps is based on SLD-stylesheets. SLD-stylesheets enable the same data to be visualized in several different ways. GeoServer in conjunction with SLD-stylesheets offers a Web Map Service (WMS). Map images are delivered via a high performance MapCache Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) and as image files via NLSFI download service. The system is designed to be expandable and is currently being further developed to enable the pro-duction of on-demand printed maps.
