Importing Data
Enrich your projects with ready-to-use datasets
After learning layer digitization in GEO MAPID, it’s time to enrich your analysis by importing data from the built-in catalog. This lesson shows how to access thousands of datasets, from climate and city planning to demographics.
What You’ll Learn
-
Accessing the data catalog
Via the Search Data menu
-
Selecting data categories
Search for the specific data you need—for example, the demographics of Bogor City.
-
Adding a datasets
(e.g,/ National Flood Hazard Zones) into the project.
-
Managing imported layers
With attributes ready for analysis.
Why It Matters
With import features, you don’t have to start from scratch. Thousands of official datasets are available for research, disaster mitigation, or location-based business planning. The result: faster, evidence-based analysis.
