Hi james, Why not just try an admin level higher than whats there for alberta/sask. I dont think it needs to be a polygon to show up, or does it? Then we can use that as a benchmark for how to make the USA state boarders show up. In the 'nutral zone' (slightly lower can be the 'county' borders)
A logical solution IMO cheers, Sam On 8/15/09, James Ewen <ve6...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Wed, May 27, 2009 at 9:33 PM, Ben Konrath<b...@bagu.org> wrote: > >>>> Ok, I did some more poking around and it seems that the land border >>>> with the US is really borked.
