Hi,

 

It's been a while since I made a sectorfile from scratch but I'm planning a new one.

 

I want to start with the coastline and national borders and the last time I did this I could use a NOAA (http://rimmer.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/coast/getcoast.html) website to extract coordinates.

 

This site is now unavailable.

 

How can I extract coastline and national borders now?

 

Thank you

Thank you.

 

I'll check. I guess I have to download the .exe file and database.

 

I can't really remember how I did this, but I'll try and see.

This is being phased out but still works:
