The Global Map Data |
| The
Global Map Data has 8 themes at scales of 1:1,000,000.
They are Boundaries, Transportation, Drainage, Population
Centres, Elevation, Vegetation, Land use and Land
cover. These themes are produced as either vector
or raster data. The layers in vector representation
are Boundaries, Transportation, Drainage and Population
Centres. The layers in raster representation are Elevation,
Vegetation, Land use and Land cover. |
