Regions of France before and after 2016

Last modified by Aurelie Bertrand on 2025/12/19 08:51


On 1 January 2016, a new administrative division came into force.

DigDash Enterprise is delivered by default with maps of the new French regions. This document describes the procedure for deploying maps representing the regions before or after this new division.

"Pack city" files contain an additional level of detail. Navigation down to city level will be possible with packs.

It is not necessary to deploy all the components. For example, if you want all the cities after 2016, the Pack city from 2016 will be sufficient.
