GeoBox · an INMAGIK project

Administrative boundaries

The administrative areas of 20 countries, one level to a file: regions, provinces, districts, municipalities. GeoBox imports each with one click, from its Administrative boundaries dialog, ready to clip, join or summarize your data by. Every file is a byte-for-byte copy of one an open source publishes, at a pinned version, under the source's own licence, which a layer imported from it carries.

47 boundary sets · Published on 30 October 2026 · v1/manifest.json
