The tools to not only import VMAP0 data but GSHHS shorelines as well into a PostGIS database are already present. I think you also can use these tools to export back into VMAP0 or any other format. A 'native' OpenGIS/PostGIS interface in TerraGear would be 'smarter', though ;-) > I played with some of the terrgear tools yesterday but unfortunately they > just > spit out raw shape data without the associated names, descriptions, etc. > which are required in maps. I assume the raw data that is available for most of the world simply doesn't contain the details you are looking for. In order to get stret names and other gimmicks you want to have a look at the TIGER data that's available for the US, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
