Dave:
Here is one place to obtain the Digital Chart of the World, which should
be more accurate:
http://www.maproom.psu.edu/dcw/ (Penn State University DCW Server)
Get the shape files, use R maptools routines (e.g., ReadShapePoly) to
read the files.
Hope this helps,
Rick Reeves

Hi all,
Sorry if this is a dumb question.... I'm trying to produce a world map
showing WinBUGS useage from the data collected at the mrc-bsu
web-site. I've been trying to use the map + mapdata packages but was
surprised to find that the geography of the world map seemed a little
out-of-date, being specified in terms of USSR and Yugoslavia, for
instance. I wondered if there was a more up-to-date version available
somewhere??
Best wishes + many thanks for any help you can give...
