Browse global administrative boundaries online

Pick a level (ADM0 / ADM1 / ADM2) and a year (2000 / 2010 / 2020 / 2025), click any unit on the map to see its name, source and confidence, or search a country name / ISO3 to locate it. Base map: Esri World Light Gray (© Esri · © OpenStreetMap contributors).

Data: data/pmtiles/map/*.pmtiles (MapLibre vector tiles · PMTiles v3 · zoom 0–8, range requests on demand). If vector tiles are unavailable the page falls back automatically to data/web/global_adm{0,1,2}_<year>.geojson (WGS84 · EPSG:4326); the GeoJSON files are large, so the first load may take tens of seconds.

How to use

Click an administrative unit, then choose SHP, GPKG, SVG or GeoJSON to download it.
A official direct (green) · B official via aggregator (blue) · C OSM/third party (orange) · D derived (red). See the about page for what the grades mean.
ADM0 / ADM1 cover all four anchor years; ADM2 is available for the 2025 snapshot only (split into files by continent), so choosing another year automatically falls back to ADM1.
