#GISdata can be downloaded by simply choosing your country of choice, and setting the download subject. This can be #AdministrativeBoundaries, water bodies, road networks, etc.

I love this video. ❤️
I was busy stressing myself using raster data as my backdrop layer when I could easily download vector data straight ahead.

Thank you Sir for this awesome work 👍
