The portal operates normally and integrates detailed base of geodata, the topographic map of the region, a cartographic online service and the system of search and exchange of geoinformation resources.

The geoportal was developed by Management of information technologies of the Voronezh region within implementation of the concept of creation and development of a cross-industry end-to-end regional geographic information system.

Metadata of the geoportal will include the description of services and products in all fields of activity connected with creation and storage of space data on the region. At the same time the geoportal is the convenient mechanism for search and exchange of geoinformation resources.

The first can look for and browse these or those data, create and upload on the portal metadata about the resources and also save the history of search. In turn, the system of search and viewing information are available to users without registration, however they have no right to enter new data in the portal.
