Glarus

Extracts data of Glarus from the OpenstreetMaps project for free

OpenStreetMap vector data for the Swiss canton of Glarus provides essential resources for GIS professionals and developers working on mapping applications, cartographic projects, or spatial analysis within the region. This daily updated .pbf extract allows for efficient data loading into tools like osm2pgsql or QGIS. For users seeking immediate visualization, the site offers a paid QGIS 3 project containing pre-styled GeoPackage and Shapefile layers alongside map icons, streamlining the workflow. Glarus is distinguished by its narrow alpine valleys, specifically the Linth Valley, which contain a mix of traditional agricultural land and significant hydroelectric infrastructure.
