Your solution for geolocating and exploring Spain

Abstract

Locating objects on the earth's surface is something we do constantly, either by mentioning a street, a neighborhood or a city, or by using coordinates such as latitude and longitude for greater precision. Everything that can be identified on the territory can be located. From the Autonomous Body National Center for Geographic Information (CNIG), the CartoCiudad project collects, processes and makes available to the public, through geolocation web services, a wide variety of data from all over Spain: postal addresses, zip codes, points of interest, administrative units, etc. These data are essential for multiple uses: from emergency management and transportation to mobility analysis, route calculation or urban planning. These are millions of geographic references that allow us to better understand and manage our environment. Moreover, being official information provided by public administrations, at national, regional and local level, these data have a high value and are available for access and reuse. Thanks to CartoCiudad, any place in the Spanish territory can be located accurately and reliably.
