I didn't compare the shorelines of the whole world between old and new version :-) I actually had a look at a few places (my personal favourites) and noticed something that appeared to me as more detail in the GSHS 1.3 (new) data. Unfortunately I did _not_ look at the great lakes area. What is nice about the new GSHHS is that they don't put everything into one dataset but instead they separate the coastline from lakes (and islands and ponds on islands). I my eyes this _should_ make it easier to pick GSHHS for coastlines and VMAP0 for everything else. There are only a few so called ponds in GSHHS, so it should take not that much time so investigate if these are improved in GSHHS over VMAP0, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
