Malta

Extracts data of Malta from the OpenstreetMaps project for free

Access comprehensive OpenStreetMap vector data for Malta to support professional cartography, spatial analysis, and the development of navigation applications using tools like osm2pgsql and QGIS. This daily updated extract provides the foundational geospatial information necessary for urban planning and detailed mapping projects within the region. While the free dataset offers the raw vector data, an optional premium package is available featuring a ready-to-use QGIS 3 project with pre-styled layers in Shapefile or GeoPackage format and associated icons to streamline workflow and visual presentation. Malta, situated in the central Mediterranean Sea, is an archipelago consisting of three major islands known for its historical sites and strategic maritime location.
