Data details

Name Vector Map1 (VMap1)
Note Vector Map Level 1 product resolution is based on 1:250000 map scale source and is 4 times the resolution of VMAP0. VMAP1 contain all the standard topographic vector data types familiar to GIS users. Data content includes 10 thematic layers: boundaries and coastlines; elevation and contour lines; road and rail networks; hydrography; utility networks; vegetation cover; and so on. These themes are arranged in over 100 vector layers of information, with mass numbers of features, attributes, and geographic names appropriate to their respective scales. The horizontal datum for this VMap product is WGS84. The vertical datum for this VMap product is mean sea level (MSL). The unit of measure for VMap is metric. The geographic extent of the VMap Level 1 product is global and consists of multiple regional databases.
