Nicaragua

Extracts data of Nicaragua from the OpenstreetMaps project for free

OpenStreetMap vector data for Nicaragua is essential for GIS professionals and developers working on mapping, navigation, and spatial analysis projects. This extract provides comprehensive coverage of the country's road network, administrative boundaries, and natural features, ideal for cartography and urban planning applications. The site offers a free daily updated .pbf download, while an optional paid product provides a ready-to-use QGIS 3 project with pre-styled layers in Shapefile and GeoPackage formats, complete with map icons. Nicaragua is notable for its extensive network of freshwater lakes, including the massive Lake Nicaragua, the largest in Central America, which is connected to the Caribbean Sea by the San Juan River and is home to freshwater sharks.
