Mapping Toolbox Data Sets
Mapping Toolbox™ includes several files that contain data sets for the world and the United States. This topic summarizes useful data sets, but is not a comprehensive list.
World Data
Filename | Description | How to Load |
---|---|---|
| Shapefile containing low-resolution world land areas. The
file stores the shapes as polygons with coordinates in latitude
and longitude. The shapes have one attribute:
This data is useful for providing geographic context on small-scale maps. Data Size: 537 rows, 2 variables For more
information, see

GT = readgeotable("landareas.shp");
geoplot(GT) |
| Shapefile containing world populated places. The file
stores the shapes as points with coordinates in latitude and
longitude. The shapes have one attribute:
Data Size: 318 rows, 2 variables For
more information, see
