Summary:Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has allowed geomatic tools to be appreciated by the public and by government, both as means of communication and as a relevant instrument to support decision-making. [...]this situation exposes certain weaknesses or limitations of geospatial information regarding the potentiality of its use. In this article, using the Uruguayan case, a brief qualitative analysis of these phenomena is made, the advantages and limitations are listed and some opportunities for improvement are outlined. Asimismo, como el INE no publica dichos datos en formato geo-а miga ble, se requiere la realización de procesos previos por parte de los usuarios, para que puedan ser utilizados análisis espaciales.
