Global Open Data Index: Survey

South Africa / National Map / 2013

This data category requires a high level national map. To satisfy this category, the following minimum criteria must be met:

  • Scale of 1:250,000 (1 cm = 2.5km).
  • Markings of national roads
  • National borders
  • Marking of streams, rivers, lakes, mountains.
  • Updated at least once a year.

Data Location

Comments

It is not 100% clear whether a permanent location of this map exists. My discussions with the Chief Directorate: National Geo-spatial Information suggest that the data exists and is available on request. Their website was recently hacked and so they were unable to give me a permanent url for the map. Further queries can be referred to Sue Kirschner - skirschner@ruraldevelopment.gov.za
