The 1:50.000 scale Geological Map of Spain, called MAGNA, is elaborated by the Instituto Geológico y Minero de España since 1971. Each sheet is a traditional paper publication, including a memoir and two maps: Geological and Geomorphological. Unpublished additional documentation of each sheet includes: palaeontological, petrological, chemical studies and  various specific technical reports. All of them are at present stored in the IGME Documentation Center for its consultation. 

In order to facilitate the access to the complete documentation associated to the Geological Maps it was  developed a digital product consisting of an interactive CD. This application was designed in order to publish all the future geological maps without any modification.  It contains both maps (geological and geomorphological ), memoir, sample descriptions, stratigraphic columns, schemes (tectonic, hydrogeologic, etc.), photographies, additional thematic reports, etc. This digital product allows to make from simple enquiries to spatial GIS analysis, connecting cartography with alphanumeric information.
