Global Supply Routes

Global supply routes for Transportation of Food and Non Food Items - Roads, Railways, Waterway, Airways.

This layer is built by linking origin/destination locations using the most direct route on main roads. In reality, the supply routes can divert from the ones displayed here depending on many local factors. The routes shown in this dataset are only indicative and have to be used as such.

The dataset is made by the combination of various sources such as OpenStreetMap, GoogleMaps Digital Cartography,YahooMaps or from partners through the Logistics Cluster.
