Hi again.. I already search in that project but there is very little information of cities on my country.

I would like you to clarify me please. If I use google Earth and export some region to kml file and then, with some software I convert it to shp format. Does that shp format have all the information and can be used from an independent MapServer service?

Thanks in advanced

Do a search on this blog for Open Street Map; there are free maps available for much of the world, in shapefile format at some locations (e.g. Cloudmade).

Hi.. I’m actually new to all of this stuff of GIS. So I would really appreaciate if you could delp me.
I would like to do a GIS system using either MApserver/OpenLayer or MApGuideOS/OpenLayer and I am searching for a mapfile of my country. I already asked for it on Navteq and DS Solutions but the cost is really expensive (USD$22,000 a year) so searching through the internet I found that I can download Destinator maps which comes with streets and covers all of my country cities and roads.

I would like to know if there is some way to convert from that format (PN I think it is) to shapefile so I can use it at my MapServer.

Thanks in advanced
