What the file carries
The GeoCSV file for Congo-Brazzaville: the whole map comes as a single file, the file is plain text and opens in any editor, all features lie in one collection, and the source layer name stays in the _layer field, lines and outlines are reduced to a centroid point — the shape of the feature does not reach the file, OpenStreetMap tags are kept as feature attributes.
File size
The expected size of the GeoCSV file for Congo-Brazzaville is about 2.3 MB; the exact size depends on the chosen layers and area.

How to use GeoCSV for Congo-Brazzaville
- Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc — open with a double click; if the columns end up glued into one, use "Data → From Text/CSV" and set the delimiter to comma.
- QGIS (free) — drag the .csv onto the canvas or use "Add Delimited Text Layer": the program will suggest the lon and lat columns as WGS84 coordinates on its own.
- Python — pandas.read_csv("map.csv"), then geopandas.points_from_xy(df.lon, df.lat) turns the table into a geo layer.

FAQ: GeoCSV for Congo-Brazzaville
Is the full shape of lines and polygons preserved?
No. GeoCSV is a flat table of points; for lines and polygons the centroid is exported. If you need the full geometry, use GeoJSON, GeoPackage, or Shapefile.
Why does the file open with garbled text in Excel?
We export UTF-8 with BOM so Cyrillic reads correctly. If your Excel is in a European locale expecting a semicolon delimiter, import through the «Data → From Text/CSV» wizard.
Which coordinate system are the lat/lon columns in?
WGS84 (latitude and longitude in degrees) — the standard for most maps and tools that open coordinate CSVs.
Can I open the result directly in QGIS?
Yes. Drag the .csv onto the QGIS canvas or use «Add Delimited Text Layer» — QGIS auto-detects the lat/lon columns.
Which columns will be in the file?
The lat and lon coordinates, the feature name, the type, the map layer and the non-empty OpenStreetMap tags. The set of attribute columns depends on what is filled in for the features in the selected area.
