Built-In Cartography for Your QGIS Projects

Building professional maps in QGIS often means hours of styling work before you even start your analysis. Finding data, setting up symbology, tweaking zoom levels – it all takes time.

NextGIS Basemaps eliminate the styling work.

What’s Included

When you download a basemap area from NextGIS Data, you get:

• 30 fully editable OSM vector layers: roads, buildings, waterways, land use, points of interest, and more. Toggle layers on and off, adjust what you need, or add your own data on top.
• 2 pre-styled QGIS projects ready to open and use:
  • The new NextGIS design – modern, clean, optimized for visual clarity
  • The classic OpenStreetMap style – familiar and universally recognizable

Switch between them depending on your audience or stick with the one that fits your workflow.

What Makes the Styling Work

• Conditional formatting adapts as you zoom – symbols and labels automatically adjust for every scale level
• Thoughtful cartographic choices – every color, typeface, and line weight selected for clarity
• Styles work together – the map looks clean and readable whether you’re viewing a country or a single street

The result: professional cartography without the hours of manual styling.

Use As-Is or Customize

Sometimes all you need is what’s already there – a ready-made map for a presentation or quick reference. Other times, the basemap is your foundation: keep the road network and land use, hide the rest, overlay your field data.

Either way, you skip the styling marathon and get straight to the work that matters.
