[OSM-talk] shoreline_300, world borders _without_ rectangles

[Torsten Mohr]

Hello,

i'm glad i got the "blu marble" working nw and can create a map of the whole
world with the satellite images of the earth as background.  It looks really
great.

But what would be great if i could also overlay the world / continents /
islands / states borders as outline.

I can't use the "shoreline_300" file as it is split into several polygons
and adds heaps of "plates" to the earth and does not look good.

Does anybody know a way to get the world outline (as in shoreline_300)
but without the "plates" (interruptions of the polygons)?

Is it maybe possible to get these data from PostGIS with a clever SQL
request?


Thanks for any hints,
Torsten.
