Satellite Image of Faisalabad

Posted on March 29, 2009 by Administrator

Faisalabad (Punjabi, Urdu: فیصل آباد) is a city in the province of Punjab, Pakistan. It was formerly known as Lyallpur. Faisalabad is the third largest city in Pakistan after Karachi and Lahore. Before the foundation of the city in 1880, the area was very thinly populated. The population has risen from 9,171 in 1901 to 179,000 in 1951 and to 2,009,000 in 1998.^[2] The larger Faisalabad district had a population of about 5.4 million in 1998.^[3]

It is an important industrial centre west of Lahore. The city-district of Faisalabad is bound on the north by the districts of Gujranwala andSheikhupura, on the east by Sahiwal, on the south by Toba Tek Singh and on the west by Jhang. It is 1,135 km (705 mi) from Karachi, 128 km (80 mi) from Lahore, 350 km (220 mi) from Islamabad/Rawalpindi, 187 km (116 mi) from Burewala, and 70 km (43 mi) from Jhang.

The city is at a road and railway junction, which has played an influential role in the development of Faisalabad’s trade and economy. The surrounding countryside, irrigated by the Lower Chenab River, has seen expanded production of cotton, wheat, vegetables, and fruits, which form 25% of Pakistan’s exports. The city is also an industrial centre with major railway repair yards, engineering works, and mills thatprocess sugar, flour, and oil seed. Produce includes super phosphates, cotton and silk textiles, hosiery, dyes, agricultural equipment, andghee (clarified butter). Faisalabad is also the site of the prestigious University of Agriculture, founded in 1909.

Faisalabad is the largest industrial city of Pakistan and its textile capital, specialising in export-oriented manufactured goods.” Source: Wikipedia

Satellite image of Lahore at good resolution is available at PKMaps. These can be used for any GIS/RS assignment and analysis.

Source of quoted material: http://pkmaps.freeforums.org/lahore-satellite-imagery-at-18x-zoom-t31.html

You can find all the Yahoo imagery you need for mapping Lahore at 18x zoom level at the following RapidShare download link:

These zips contain the Ozi Explorer .map files and embeded merged images in jpeg format.
They have been downloaded from Yahoo using gMapMaker.
There are 9 files in total so that Lahore can be split up into 9 portions.
You can use these Ozi map files along with their image files in GPSMapEdit for your mapping.
Depending on where you unzip the file contects you may need to edit with a text editor the .jpg file path on 3rd line in each .map (Ozi Explorer file) to point to the right location of its associated .jpg file for the .map file to work.
The original jpeg tiles from Yahoo at 18x zoom downloaded by gMapMaker can be found at the following rapishare links:

http://rapidshare.com/files/176834619/yahoo_satallite_imagery_at_18x.part3.rar

PS: You will need to download all these .rar files and run winrar to extract them to one folder.
Mobile GMaps can users also benifit from these files.
