(-90, -180, 90, 180)? :-)

Can someone who knows what they are doing with this stuff quickly run
up and down each side of the US for me please? That way, when the
states turn white on Martijn's coastline checker we can switch over -
at that point, 95%+ of the land area we have mapping data for will be
correctly guessed as sea/land. It looks like someone is inching along
Siberia too, which is great and needs to be done, but it would be nice
to see the US sorted soon.

Cheers,
Andy
