The NavLog GmbH (on behalf of the forestry and timber industry) creates a dataset of forest roads in Germany which classifies them on their suitability for the exposure to timber trucks.

The quality of the data constantly improves through the updates of the local responsible persons.
They provide GIS, WebMap Services and data for navigation devices.

As opposed to the suppliers of the public road datasets, the NavLog GmbH doesn’t survey the information about the suitability of the roads with specially equipped vehicles.
Instead, the data is surveyed from professionals, such as local foresters, and put together by NavLog like a puzzle. Since 2010, NavLog provides more than 450.000 km of classified forest roads cross-border.
