Hi,

 

Is anyone else having trouble with NASA Neo site?

Guys,

 

I have been checking several GeoData sites over the past couple of days but I haven't been able to find one that fits exactly what I am looking for. Maybe one of you can point me into the right direction. I am looking for a database (format is secondary) that contains all the world's countries' boundaries (border lines) and the scale should be something along the lines of 1:1000 (1 pixel = 1 kilometer) or better. If anyone of you knows a provider for that kind of data, please let me know.

 

You can email me directly at [hidden email]

 

Thanks

Ole

GADM (Global Administrative Areas) has at least that resolution:

Also available extracted by country, here:

What is the licensing and terms associated with using that data? The site doesn't seem to reference anything.

Hi Ole,

I had to look for the same recently. Here's what I found:

Digital Chart of the World
http://www.maproom.psu.edu/dcw/

Digital Chart of the World "2"
http://www.who.int/vaccines-surveillance/digitalmaplibrary/librarymapintro.htm

World Borders Dataset from thematicmapping.org
http://thematicmapping.org/downloads/world_borders.php

GADM Global Administrative Areas
http://biogeo.berkeley.edu/gadm/

WHO's SALB, "Second Administrative Level Boundaries"
http://www.who.int/whosis/database/gis/salb/salb_PO.htm

The gadm page references a license but the http://biogeo.berkeley.edu/bgm/gdata.php link does not is where the issue comes into play.

Hi Randy,

NEO was unexpectedly down for about 2 days due to power maintenance in
the room where it resides (so much for "mission critical"...)  It came
back online mid-day yesterday and all seems to be well.

Hi Kevin,

        Thanks, that explains it.

        By the way thanks for the NASA neo site it has interesting data and
some great tools. The ICE analysis JWS is really impressive! I imagine your
server gets some heavy use thru the Google Earth and World Wind exposure. It
might be a good candidate for replication on Amazon's S3 as a public data
resource. http://aws.amazon.com/publicdatasets/  Amazon is treating it as a
public service and it could reduce the load on your end.

        A replication script against the existing WMS could keep it current.
You could even setup a tile pyramid script for the higher resolution imagery
like the AWS S3 tiles setup by modestmap:

Thanks
randy
