Maps
Most AIMS maps are based on sources such as the United State Defense Mapping Agency 1958 1:100,000, Soviet 1990 1:50,000, recent satellite imagery of varying resolutions, or current survey data provided by different organizations. Additional layers may be created by using GPS data, surveys and assessments, client-specific data, or remotely sensed information. All maps are checked in-house for errors, and printed and distributed through our customer service section.
Standard maps are maps distributed by AIMS to the general public. Although they have a variety of uses they are not intended for any specific purpose or client. Standard maps typically represent physical features and/or administrative boundaries.
AIMS has six Regional Offices in the Central, Western, Northern, North Eastern, Eastern, and Southern regions of Afghanistan.
Most of the AIMS custom maps are produced for clients from different organizations for a specific purpose.
AIMS is in contact with various UN organizations, where they provide us with their products for publicizing through the AIMS website.
