Greater Manchester

Extracts data of Greater Manchester from the OpenstreetMaps project for free

OpenStreetMap vector data for Greater Manchester provides essential resources for professional mapping, navigation systems, and spatial analysis within the UK's most populous metropolitan county. This region's dense urban fabric and extensive public transport network make it ideal for developing routing algorithms and detailed street-level cartography. Users can access a free daily updated .pbf extract for direct import into tools like osm2pgsql or QGIS. For developers requiring immediate visual context, a paid QGIS 3 project file is available, featuring pre-styled Shapefile and GeoPackage layers alongside thematic icons to streamline workflow setup.
