Chad

Extracts data of Chad from the OpenstreetMaps project for free

GIS professionals and developers can leverage this region's OpenStreetMap vector data for comprehensive mapping applications, navigation systems, and detailed spatial analysis. The available free PBF extract is updated daily, ensuring the latest information for cartography and research projects. For users requiring immediate visual workflows, a paid QGIS 3 project with pre-styled Shapefile and GeoPackage layers, including vector icons, is offered as an optional upgrade. Chad is a landlocked country in Central Africa, distinguished by its geographic position as the fifth largest in the continent and its unique status as the birthplace of the Chari-Baguirmi Region. This dataset supports technical workflows ranging from data migration to urban planning.
