LandScan+ combines The World's Finest Population Distribution Data with authoritative infrastructure data *
Minneapolis - December 9, 2015 East View introduces a new value-added geospatial solution by combining authoritative infrastructure data with the award-winning LandScanTM Global Population Database.
Developed by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and exclusively distributed by East View, LandScan provides the most accurate and reliable ambient population data covering the globe.
LandScan+ is a new opportunity for GIS users to improve their ability to analyze and understand the impact of conditions, surroundings and events on human population dynamics.
Since 1989, East View has acquired a vast archive of global maps and geospatial datasets that can now be paired with LandScan population data. Here are some examples:
Ukraine 1:50K topographic vector data |
South Africa 1:50K topographic vector data |
|
|
|
|
Vietnam 1:50K topographic vector data |
Myanmar 1:50K topographic vector data |
|

* These datasets were not used in the creation of LandScan.
