Free Data
When it comes to GIS data sources, the information seems endless, new information emerges every day, and it
is difficult to assess whether it is of good quality or not.
Here, I've tried to compile a list of web pages that offer us free global map data.
The following is a list of global map datasets that can be downloaded for free:
1. Natural Land :
https://lnkd.in/d5GEN9pE
Provides cartographers with a solution for creating small-scale maps.
2. OpenStreetMap :
https://lnkd.in/djDkKmeM
It is a map of the world created by a community of users.
It has become one of the most detailed sources of map data at the local level. This map data is created and
maintained by thousands of volunteers from all over the world.
3. ArcGIS Hub :
https://lnkd.in/dHYmJJ2X
With more than 350,000 open datasets from more than 5,000 organizations around the world, ArcGIS Hub is a
hidden goldmine of free GIS data.
5. DIVA-GIS :
https://lnkd.in/djY_Rdm8
DIVA-GIS provides free spatial data from any country in the world, which we can use in the DIVA-GIS program
itself or in other programs.
It includes administrative areas, inland waters, roads, railways, elevations, land cover, population, and climate
data.
6. OpenAerialMap :
https://openaerialmap.org/
It is a free, licensed GIS data collection of satellite and UAV imagery
7. UNEP geodata :
