Ethiopia

Extracts data of Ethiopia from the OpenstreetMaps project for free

High-resolution OpenStreetMap vector data for Ethiopia provides essential resources for GIS professionals, developers utilizing osm2pgsql, and researchers conducting spatial analysis or urban planning within the country. This dataset is optimized for accurate mapping, navigation systems, and thematic cartography across the region. The site offers a free .pbf extract updated daily, allowing users to manage data directly, while a paid QGIS 3 project is available as an optional upsell.
