It’s complicated.

Hello Simon

No problem and thanks for the link!

I've found a data record with the administrative boundaries from 2020.
[^1] But strangely enough, that boundary [^2] looks totally different
from swissBOUNDARIES3D. I've connected the boundary stones, whose
position I have improved using Swissimage, with a way [^3], which is
pretty congruent with swissBOUNDARIES3D. Do you have an idea why there
is such a big difference between the boundary by the Regione Lombardia
and swissBOUNDARIES3D? This can't be because of different geodetic
systems and i've also never heard that the Swiss-Italian boundary were
disputed.

Best regards

Raphael
