Availability of Mexico Geospatial Data

Mexico geospatial data is available for purchase from the Instituto Nacional de Estadística, Geografía, e Informática (INEGI), the official mapping agency of Mexico. 

Status graphics are available at <http://antares.inegi.gob.mx/map/prueba/index.html?c=388> 

Information regarding the availability of digital orthophotos, digital elevation models, and vector data (hydrography, transportation, boundaries, etc) at the 1:50,000 scale is available at the following INEGI web page.

Once at the site:

For a list of available data sorted by state and quad name, select Consulta interactiva sobre disponibilidad de conjuntos de datos geográficos digitales escala 1:50,000.   From this page, you can view availability by selecting the Mexican state and type of data product desired.  Once the selection has been made, click Realizar consulta to send your query.  Note – if you select the individual product type then the entire quad name and code (clave) for the quad will appear.  If you select all products (cobertura en los cinco productos), then the selection will only show the quad code.

  OR:  

For an interactive status graphic map of available data, select Consulta grafica sobre disponibilidad de conjuntos de datos geográficos digitales escala 1:50,000.  To start the Internet map server, click Iniciar.

At the bottom left side of the map, select product type and zoom level.  Then click on the desired area of the map to view quad codes.  To view availability, select the product from the bottom right side, then click Enviar.  To zoom, select zoom level and click on desired area of the map.  Remember that MDE stands for Modelos De Elevación (DEMs).

On the web page, there is no information on the price of the products or the method of ordering.  Below is an image which shows products and prices from INEGI.  To order the data, either call the INEGI sales center in Aguascalientes at (52) 449 918-19-48 or send a fax to Maria Eugenia Cruz at (52) 449 916-80-21 with a list of products and quadrangle codes or names.  You can also send an email to their sales center (ventassede@dgd.inegi.gob.mx).  The INEGI sales center will calculate the cost in dollars and fax or email the information back to you.  A certified check or credit card will need to be used to make the purchase.
