Cameroon

Extracts data of Cameroon from the OpenstreetMaps project for free

OpenStreetMap vector data for Cameroon provides essential resources for professional GIS workflows, enabling precise navigation, spatial analysis, and cartography across its diverse landscapes. This dataset supports developers using osm2pgsql or QGIS and researchers analyzing infrastructure and land use patterns. The site offers a free daily updated .pbf extract for direct download, along with a premium, ready-to-use QGIS 3 project featuring professionally styled Shapefile and GeoPackage layers complete with custom map icons. Cameroon's geography, defined by its coastal plains and the central volcanic ridge that rises to Mount Cameroon, the country's highest peak, offers a rich environment for mapping infrastructure and natural features.
