Right-click displays the nearest 400 lakes of the current position. Left click on the lake mark displays the ID, name, and position. Double-clicking zooms in and recenters the map.

Definition of lake
The database of SMSS contains about 100,000 Swedish lakes where everyone has received a four-digit
letter code for ease of identification.

All data comes from SMHI. According to international standards the lakes position is marked
at the exit, it means that the marking of the lake sits at the exit and not in the middle of the lake on the map. SMHI's definition of "lake" is that it is larger than one hectare, equivalent to 100 X 100 meters.

This means that it can be difficult to find the marker for example, Lake Malaren.
No lakes will be removed and no lakes will be added.
Many smaller lakes, especially in the inner northern Sweden has no official name.
