It would be interesting for me if I could just review those polygons
on a map. Don't know if and/or how this can be done. For instance, I
want to use the Austria extract for the coming summer holiday, but we
will stay near the border of Italy. So I would like to know how far
does it go across borders. And I don't know how to see that from the
polygons, if I could download them.
