The deputy delegate of the Government in Cáceres, José Antonio García, accompanied by the director of the Autonomous Agency of the National Geographic Information Center, Emilio López and the director of the Regional Services of the National Geographic Institute in Extremadura, Ángel Marra, have today presented the Point of Attention of the National Geographic Information Center (CNIG), which is located on the ground floor of this institution.
This point consists of the national and international marketing of the products and services of the National Geographic Institute (IGN), as well as those of other administrations and public institutions. Other services that are offered are free assistance and advice to the citizen in everything related to geographical information.
Any interested citizen will be able to visit this CNIG information center on Fridays in the morning.
The subdelegate of the Government in Cáceres has pointed out the importance of this new service so that all citizens can make use of it and thus bring the General Administration of the State closer to society.
For his part, Emilio López explained that “although it seems that everything is now on the internet and that cartography is accessed through electronic devices, in Spain 80,000 maps are sold annually on paper”.
