<br>which uses the quite crude vmap0 data. OSM have shapefiles with vmap0 derived coastlines, but they are of little use at a greater-than-regional / openlayers zoom level 5, as they were originally derived at a scale of 1:1m.
<br><br>As for borders, its a case that no-one got round to doing it. If you could supply the data in shapefile format and edit the mapnik config file, the coastlines could be rendered in the next round of rendering.<br>

Hi,<br><br><br>Did / does somebody try to import border data from the CIA world<br>databook? All I saw in the mailing list archives is about coast line<br>imports, but never about country borders.<br><br>Is there a restriction against that data or is it a case of "no-one got
<br>around to do it" ?<br><br><br>Regards,<br>Hakan<br><br>--<br>The Key To Immortality Is First Living A Life Worth Remembering.<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>talk mailing list<br><a href="mailto:talk@openstreetmap.org">
