anyway I found a solution - although I need help. The boundaries are *not* in the OSM database. They are in a separate set of files called 'world_boundaries' which is used by osm2pgsql to populate the database. Those files are available here: $ wget http://tile.openstreetmap.org/world_boundaries-spherical.tgz (50M) we need someone to open these files in grass or qgis and edit the Indian boundaries to reflect the official position. Of course we will still have 'Azad Kashmir', but it will be shown as inside India. Or we can add some xml rule not to render it. So can someone with GIS expertise please do the needful? -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Senior Project Officer NRC-FOSS http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ _______________________________________________ Talk-in mailing list Talk-in@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-in
