Vector Map
open-in-new
<p>The Vector Map (VMAP), also called Vector Smart Map, is a <a href="/facts/Vector_graphics/y8ok7M2P">vector</a>-based collection of <a href="/facts/Geographic_information_system/PoP1kVoa">geographic information system</a> (GIS) data about <a href="/facts/Earth/HLLmDfj0">Earth</a> at various levels of detail. Level 0 (low resolution) coverage is global and entirely in the <a href="/facts/Public_domain/YWKMDKw4">public domain</a>. Level 1 (global coverage at medium resolution) is only partly in the public domain. </p><p>There are ongoing discussions about making most of the information available in the public domain. </p>
