Hallo,
the data is in lat/lon and WGS84 datum as stated on the download page
http://gadm.org/country
if you use this projection for the project you get the "compressed"
appearance
In order to get an appearance similar to DEU_adm.png you might e.g. use
UTM-WGS84 projection (in this case use EPSG:32632).
tick on-the-fly-projection in project properties.

Hi guys,
I just installed Quantum GIS and am really excited about the software.
However, I have got one problem: maps appear somehow compresed.
Example: I downloaded German administrative borders from gadm.org. The
map should look like attachment DEU_adm.png, but looks like
qgis-output.jpg. So its too wide, the proportions do not match. What do
I do wrong?
Cheers
Nicolas
