Digital Map Of Nigeria
« on: April 30, 2007, 11:29 AM »

details on the map include:

all national highways (interstate roads)
inland waterways
all major cities and towns (1000+)
national and state boundary etc

the map is accurately geo-referenced so that you can input coordinates (lat and long) and it will display the accurate position.

accuracy is very high.


limitations.
no inner city roads. only national level.

possible uses.

vehicle/asset tracking (gps based)
instant measurement of distance from one point to another
etc.

the map is in .map format.

i will give mapping software to run the map.

interested? send an email to info@nigertrak.com

It is nice to have the digital highway map of Nigeria. I am sure this will be of particular interest to vehicle tracking companies. However selling digital map and its software will introduce certain complexities as it will require the buyer to learn to use the software to get value on investment for the map.

MapNTL.com takes a different route entirely. It offers a free interactive national highway map of Nigeria. It provides turn by turn driving driving direction to any city in Nigeria. It shows the location of cities along a route. It is georeferenced as the underlying map has a planimetric accuracy of about 1m. This is even better than the accuracy that a traditional GPS offers due to the Selective Availability (SA).

MapNTL.com is easy to use and it has a lot of Nigerian flavor. See below a route generated from Lagos Airport to Obudu.

e-monkey, while trying to cost digital maping data, there are a number of issues that one has to consider. What exactly are you looking for? what planimetric accuracy are you interested in? what format? Most importantly, what do you wish to achieve with it? Answers to these questions will help qualify your needs and will help the provider give you the most effective cost. If you are really serious about it, send a mail to ( info at spatialtechnologiesltd.com ) and remember to put "Map of Nigeria" as the subject. A customer service consultant will contact you and give you all the information you require.
