Craig<br><br>Thanks for the reply. FAO is a great site and have sourced data from there already. I like to source data from multiple sources to verify boundary layers and have registered at SALB. Thanks for the link.<br><br>
I am also requesting datasets directly from the countries "mapping authorities" now. <br><br>Thanks.<br><br clear="all">Sarel Coetzer | GIS Developer<br><br>Malaria Research Programme<br>Medical Research Council<br>
