GIS and RS Data Sets

anim_3 Here is a collection of a variety of data sources from where free datasets can be attained both in raster and vector format for Pakistan.  For more additional data have a look at Pakistan GIS


1. We have formulated some quick ways to get high resolution geo-referenced images from Google Earth. At present, We have good resolution aerial photographs for almost all District Cities and Tehsil Cities of Punjab
