Thanks for the replies. Yes the data is from http://www.diva-gis.org/ - or at least it's the same as this data. Not sure what projection the data I have is but it seems to be standard across all official sources, is this different to what Google use?
I've spoken to a Burmese geospatial mapping guy and he said Google Maps is not technically accurate, is this correct? What projection is Google maps? I mean if you look down the south of Burma in the example there are many small islands that exist on the overlay that are not even on Google maps? And to the east of Yangoon at the coast the map is nowhere near!
