[OSM-dev] country boundary polygons

[Andy Deakin]

Hi,

I am looking for a simple answer to the question 'what country is 
lat+long in?', and for this I need the country borders as polygons.

 From [1] I see that I am not the only one. Has there been any progress 
made with this? I am happy to help but don't want to reinvent the wheel!

Kind regards,

Andy
