[OSM-dev] Mapnik: Data format in world_boundaries.tar.bz2 ?

[Hakan Tandogan]

Hi,


I fetched the Mapnik world_boundaries because it seems to contain a few
national boundaries which are not contained in the WDB archives.

I can open the shape files just fine, but I don't know what units the
points are in, the coordinates are quite large, and I don't want to
guess...

The first few points in the first shape are:


mapnikborders2osm> perl mapnikborders2osm.pl
31168 shapes in data/world_bnd_m
Shape # 1 is Geo::ShapeFile::Shape=HASH(0x1a63efc), 14 points
    Point Point(X=-19940523.3427004,Y=11570442.5297143)
    Point Point(X=-19948430.3286263,Y=11572187.9256366)
    ...
    ...



Regards,
Hakan
