Equatorial Guinea Road Network from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide the road network across Equatorial Guinea, including motorways, residential streets, service roads, footways, and trails. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled this data, last updated on 2026-05-15. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely more detailed than remote areas.

Use Cases

• Calculate optimal routing paths based on the network of motorways and residential streets.
• Analyze regional accessibility for services based on the presence of footways and service roads.
• Plan for disaster response and evacuation using the mapped trail and road network.

Strengths

• Includes a wide range of road types, from motorways to trails, as defined by the OpenStreetMap 'highway' tag.
• Data is available in multiple geospatial file formats, including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.
• The dataset is licensed under the ODbL-1.0, a recognized open data license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale projects.
• The description notes completeness varies, with remote areas potentially incomplete.
