World Shore Lines

Description

Map used to support the validation of the original geographical coordinates. It was generated from the map available in 'Natural Earth' at medium scale (i.e. 1:50 m), which includes continents and major islands. Original polygons of each country were aggregated, then simplified (tolerance: 0.001 decimal degrees) and finally converted into 'spatial lines'. For some reason this procedure generated objects smaller in size than the 'coastline' maps available in 'Natural Earth'.

Usage
