How to use Shapefile for Abori
- QGIS (free) — unpack the ZIP and drag the geometry files you need into the program window, several layers at once if you like.
- ArcGIS Pro or ArcMap — Add Data and pick the layer; the projection is picked up automatically from the description file.
- GeoPandas — read_file with the path to the layer, then the usual work with the table and the geometry in Python.

FAQ: Shapefile for Abori
Can I open Shapefile in QGIS?
Yes, QGIS is the best free editor for Shapefiles. Just drag the ZIP into the QGIS window.
What attributes are preserved?
Names, object types (highway, building), population, area, and more.
What projection is used?
WGS84 (EPSG:4326) -- the standard projection for GPS and web maps.
Why are there several folders in the archive instead of one file?
A shapefile stores only one geometry type, so roads (lines), buildings (polygons) and points of interest cannot live in one file. Each layer is exported as its own shapefile in its own folder, and they are all collected into one ZIP.
Why are the field names cut off?
That is a limitation of the dBASE table: a field name is no longer than ten characters, and long names get truncated. If full attribute names matter — take GeoPackage or GeoJSON, they have no such limit.
