<br>Hello all,<br>I asked this question from openlayers list and been advised to send the same question to geodata list. Here is my question<br><br>I am a newbie to the mapping application and I need your help. I am using openlayers and with the help of so many examples and extensive API, I am progressing very well. But, I have one request regarding data. I do not know where can I get free global raw data that can use to run my application offline; i.e downloading to my local computer and being able to use it without connecting to the internet. Could you please give me some pointers to where I can download and use the data locally. Another question I have is how extensive is this data? If I can get countries/states/regional boundaries, that would be sufficient for my application. Also, if there are any premium data as well, I would like to get the pointers for their sites.<br>
<br><br>Thanks again,<br><font color="#888888">Feng<br></font></span>
