Hi,

Guatemala borders contain 22 departments (AL4) and 334 Muncipalities 
(AL&) of which 321 al6 are in OSM: (where are the other 13?).

see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Departments_of_Guatemala

Replacing those boundaries or fixing them using shape files will be a 
giant work if you want to do it by hand.

The mexican community did the same (or nearly the same) October 2015. 
They started with many errors and problems. *Including destroying 
international boundaries of the USA, Belize and of course Guatemala.*  
After long and heavy discussions they had to stop their project, 
redesigned it and started later again.

You should not try the same ;)

Please look at this discussion from 2015: 
https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=52477 and please, 
please contact Andresuco or other members of this (well done) project.

Regards

walter, aka wambacher - germany
