RGC

Référentiel Géographique Commun (http://rgc.cd/) :

RGC data are free to use but users are requested to cite the data source using the following statement: "These geographic data are provided by Referentiel Geographique Commun (www.rgc.cd)"

• Localities :
  • GPS dans les territoires de Kungu et Bomongo en Équateur, au Bas-Congo, au Bandundu, au Katanga, au Nord-Kivu, au Sud-Kivu et au Maniema
  • GNS modifiés (souvent mal positionés, par manque de précision)

• Waterways (sometimes poorly aligned to satellite images)
• Railways (fait: Comilog (Brazza), CFCO (Brazza), CFL (Kisangani), CFU (Bumba-Isiro), CFM (Boma) CFB (partie Luena-Dilolo); sometimes railway lines are not very accurate.)
• Routes (RN, RPS et RPP)
  • RN : quelques RN mal tracées par rapport aux images satellite

• Airports
  • Imported after comparing with downloaded dataset using the Script for finding nearby nodes with a distance of 5 km.

Please note that data available at RGC has different origins. Therefore the accuracy of the data varies even within a dataset. For example a significant amount of the data is based on old surveys with sometimes limited accuracy. Before using the data please familiarize yourself with the description of the datasets (cf. [3]). See also the discussion page.
