« on: January 23, 2007, 05:09:26 AM »
I was wondering if anyone has seen a resource for GPX files of international borders?

Best bet would be to try to find boundaries in shapefile format, then convert to GPX.

More geographical data can be found in shapefiles.

Do you have any suggestions on where to look? I have not been able to find actual shapefiles - just lots of discussion about shapefiles.

Thanks.

Here is where I got most of the downloadable GIS layers that are available in TF now:

http://www.nationalatlas.gov/atlasftp.html

You'll notice the 'national' part to that one, though.  '<img'>

There must be a similar international source, though.
