Many of our users have requested a map of Gibraltar they can just download and use for their own projects.
We decided to create this and allow our users to download it for free.
We have just finished editing and uploading the latest version (Version 2.0) of the Gibraltar Basemap.
We have replaced the existing Gibraltar imagery with a new orthophoto on the Geoportal.
This new image has greater resolution than the previous one and offers greater visual reference.
A new web server has been added and configured by the ITLD Systems Team to provide a High Availability service to our web servers. Special thanks to Karon, for his time setting this up.
If you experience any problems or bugs please report them to us.
