Gabon

Extracts data of Gabon from the OpenstreetMaps project for free

OpenStreetMap vector data for Gabon provides essential cartographic resources for GIS professionals, developers, and researchers focused on Central African geography. This free, daily-updated extract supports advanced spatial analysis, navigation application development, and detailed thematic mapping within the region. In addition to the raw data, this site offers a premium QGIS 3 project as an optional upsell, featuring pre-styled Shapefile and GeoPackage layers along with icon sets for immediate visualization. Gabon is distinguished by its extensive network of coastal lagoons and the dense rainforest covering much of its interior, creating a unique environment for hydrographic and land-use modeling.
