Map Services

A Python package providing Swiss Topo elevation services and map utilities.

Overview

This package exposes functionality for accessing Swiss topographic elevation data, originally from the pyriadne repository.

Installation

pip install -e .

For development:

pip install -e ".[dev]"

Usage

Basic Usage

from map_services.swisstopo_elevation import get_elevation, get_elevation_batch

# Get elevation for a single point (Zurich coordinates)
elevation = get_elevation(8.5417, 47.3769)
print(f"Elevation: {elevation} meters")

# Get elevation for multiple points
coordinates = [
    (8.5417, 47.3769),  # Zurich
    (7.4474, 46.9480),  # Bern
]
elevations = get_elevation_batch(coordinates)
print(f"Elevations: {elevations}")

Using the Client Class

from map_services.swisstopo_elevation import SwissTopoElevationClient

# Create a client instance
client = SwissTopoElevationClient()

# Get elevation for a single point
elevation = client.get_elevation(8.5417, 47.3769)
print(f"Elevation: {elevation} meters")

# Get elevation for multiple points
coordinates = [(8.5417, 47.3769), (7.4474, 46.9480)]
elevations = client.get_elevation_batch(coordinates)
print(f"Elevations: {elevations}")
