Namibia

Extracts data of Namibia from the OpenstreetMaps project for free

This dataset provides high-quality OpenStreetMap vector data specifically for Namibia, offering essential resources for GIS professionals and developers working on navigation systems, spatial analysis, and thematic cartography. The raw extract is available as a free daily updated .pbf file, optimized for standard tools like osm2pgsql and QGIS, while the optional paid package includes a ready-to-use QGIS 3 project with pre-styled Shapefile or GeoPackage layers and icon sets to streamline workflow. Namibia features the world's oldest desert, the Namib, characterized by extensive sand dunes, alongside a sparse population concentrated along the Atlantic coast and the Etosha Pan region.
