All data about entities and addresses have been extracted from the Norwegian Entity Register.

The entities’ street addresses have been parsed into geo coordinates, using Google’s Geocoding API.

The map is produced with QGIS 3.24, using the qgis2web plugin with OpenLayers and map tiles from OpenStreetMap to produce web resources, with some post-editing of html, css and js.
