Description
This GeoDataPack of Stellenbosch local municipality combines various DEMSA2 derivatives and is ideal for detailed spatial (urban and agricultural) planning and hydrological applications.
GeoDataPacks are collections of geospatial datasets tailored for improving decision-making and solving geographical problems. GeoSmart’s GeoDataPacks were collated from various sources and formatted so that they could be used in multiple software packages, including Google Earth, QGIS, and ArcGIS. The datasets can also be viewed as digital maps.
GeoSmart is currently creating GeoDataPacks for municipal areas in South Africa. Below are some examples of the datasets that are included in each GeoDataPack.
A dataset of 1 m contours is also available but cannot be visualised at this scale.
GeoDataPacks also include other valuable data, such as satellite images. For instance:
