Aloha Y'all,

anyone know of a good source of vector basemap data for the Galapagos islands, sub 100k scale? or any scale that's not DCW data? coastlines, hydro, topo, etc.

i've got the 50k dems and just curious if anything else is out there. a cursory google search was pretty dry.

TIA if you have any ideas.

thanks!

For coastlines, have you looked at:
GSHHS
and
SRTM Water Body Data

Both seem to be better than DCW (VMAP0), just by visual comparison.
