Ecuador

In this page you will find some GIS data of Ecuador, compiled and build by IRD/MS with SavGIS.

All data are free for scientific use. Please indicate source and credit (Marc Souris, IRD) when you use it.
All data are SavGIS and ArcGIS compatible. All Shapefile vector data are in geographic decimal degrees coordinate (long, lat). Datum is PSA56 for Ecuador.

Ecuador DEMs

Ecuador DEMs from digitized topographic maps (1:50 000 and 1:100 000)

All DEMs were generated from manually digitized contour lines using SavGIS system (database contain 30 000 000 digitized points) . Original maps from IGM, Pronareg/Ingala/Orstom, PetroEcuador.
Datum is PSA56 for Ecuador. Projection is UTM zone 17* for Continental Ecuador, UTM Zone 15* for Galápagos. Elevation is in meters above see level. Files are in ArcView ASCII raster format. All files are zipped. If you want vector datas or different raster resolutions, please contact us (Marc.Souris@ird.fr).

*for each file, the Y Coordinate of lower point is UTM + 10,000,000 if in north hemisphere. You can edit the file to remove this offset. To use with Arcview or ArcGIS, you need also to remove 10,000,000 in south hemisphere.

To see a DEM and to fly into the numerical landscapes, download BABEL v.1.2. This small software from Marc Souris (for Windows XP) is free. It's a small part of SavGIS, for 2D and 3D DEM visualization.
To display a DEM, first download it (see below), unzip the file, then open it in BABEL, and fly !

Version 1.2 can also display SRTM-9 DEM (USGS).

  • 30 m Resolution per pixel

Continental Ecuador, 502 DEM in total

DEM 30_Set 1 (25 Mb), UTM longitude from 480000 to 600000
DEM 30_Set 2 (90 Mb), UTM longitude from 624000 to 720000
DEM 30_Set 3 (95 Mb), UTM longitude from 744000 to 840000
DEM 30_Set 4 (30 Mb), UTM longitude from 864000 to 936000
DEM 30_Set 5 (16 Mb), UTM longitude from 960000 to 1128000

The name of each DEM include the coordinate of the left lower pixer center of the DEM. Inside the file, Y UTM coordinate of the left lower pixer center, if in southern hemisphere, is UTM standard - 10,000,000 (Arcview compatible).
