Dear list,

I have incidentally found these two nice things that might interest the gvSIG 
community:

(1) A huge shapefile with all the municipalities of France (+30,000 polygons), 
and their names and population. Very accurate, a vertex every few meters. About 
7 million edges in one SHP file:

(EPSG:2154, I think)

(2) NTv2 grid files to transform from/to the OSGB36 and ETRS89 datums (United 
Kingdom):

http://lists.maptools.org/pipermail/proj/2006-November/002658.html

I'm almost sure those grids have been derived by intensively querying Ordnance 
Survey's conversion service:

http://gps.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/etrs89geo_natgrid.asp

Have not tested, but I also believe that the accuracy of that grid is not 
significantly worse than that of the web service itself, so that gives you an 
error below 10 cm (if I understood it well) for the whole country.

Regards,

Juan Lucas Domínguez Rubio
