This service provides SATELLITE IMAGERY-ADAPTED INTERACTIVE FEATURE LAYERs based on United Nations Geospatial WORLD 5M Datasets (UN Geodata), styled for OCHA IMOs to use in country and regional web maps at a scale of 1:5,000,000 or larger. ***The dataset, sourced from the UN Geoportal and prepared by FIS, includes authoritative boundaries and geographic names, optimized for dynamic mapping.
***These live feature services support: * Layer toggling and labeling, * Custom symbology, * Scale-dependent visibility, * Filtering (e.g., by ISO3 country codes), *Querying and data extraction, * Individual or group layer use in web maps and apps.
*** Unlike static vector tile basemaps, these layers enable real-time interaction and flexible map design. Ideal for applications requiring country and subnational reference data.
*** Included layers: *gbl_Populated Places, *gbl_International - Administrative Boundaries_5M, * gbl_Lakes_5M, *gbl_Admin1 Names_5M, *gbl_Country Names_5M
*** Best used at scales smaller than: 1:36 million (countries), 1:74 million (regions), 1:148 million (subcontinent)
*** Edgematched OCHA COD feature services are only compatible with UN Geodata -1M international boundaries, edgematched COD administrative boundaries do not align with this dataset.
*****BEST USE CASE: Add this global dataset to your web maps, and tailor the symbology, scale ranges, and filters to match your operational context or thematic purpose. To use with other basemaps, simply set the Country Name layer’s fill symbol to transparent for label-only display. Combine it with OCHA Common Operational Datasets (CODs) feature service layer group relevant to your country or region if needed and adjust international boundary lines visibility and symbology to avoid overlaps.
*** For better performance in high-demand apps, a vector tile version is also available [insert link]. |
