Off the top of my head I'm not aware of any higher resolution sources of global data - what scale were you thinking of? For the UK there are free maps down to street level, either as a single file or API. The API details are here: <https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/business-government/products/maps-api> The license allows free use for apps made available to the public. — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
