A wide selection of additional digital road and street map datasets, many covering remoter parts of the world, have been added to the range offered by Kingswood MapMechanics, the UK-based specialist in digital mapping and geographic information systems.

Afghanistan, Iraq and Colombia are among the countries covered in the company's latest digital mapping releases, along with many locations that are less often in the news.

Areas covered by the new mapping include countries in Central and South America, the Middle East and the Asia Pacific region. Among them are Brazil, Cameroon, China, Colombia, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El-Salvador, Indonesia, Iraq, Malaysia, Mexico, Panama, Uruguay and Venezuela.

Typically the additional map datasets offered by the company include street-level mapping of capitals and other major cities at scales between 1:10,000 and 1:24,000, supported by smaller-scale road map datasets of other settlements or entire regions.
