Extracts data of South America from the OpenstreetMaps project for free
OpenStreetMap vector data for South America offers essential resources for developers, cartographers, and researchers requiring accurate mapping and spatial analysis. This region's extensive road networks, hydrography, and administrative boundaries are ideal for routing applications, terrain modeling, and urban planning. The site provides a free daily updated .pbf extract for direct ingestion into tools like osm2pgsql and QGIS. For a streamlined workflow, a paid QGIS 3 project is available, featuring pre-styled Shapefile and GeoPackage layers with map icons tailored to South American cartography. South America is characterized by the Andes mountain range, which stretches along its western edge, and the Amazon rainforest covering a vast portion of its northern lands.
