About South Africa

South Africa is a ready-made vector map based on OpenStreetMap data. It is not an image but structured layers of buildings, roads, water bodies, greenery and points of interest that can be edited in any professional software. The map territory covers an area of 1.3M km2 within administrative boundaries.

The map includes 540 955 buildings, 625 408 km of roads and streets and 138 699 points of interest. Each layer can be turned on or off before download, and the data preserves the original OpenStreetMap classification. Green areas cover about 3.7% of the territory.

The map works well as an underlay in AutoCAD and CorelDRAW, for loading layers into QGIS and ArcGIS, preparing printed schemes and plans, or as a basis for design and navigation. More than 130 formats are available — from DWG, DXF and SVG to GeoJSON, Shapefile and 3D models, in the WGS 84 coordinate system.
