[Qgis-user] database Mexico

[Clifford Snow]

Have you looked into OSM data? You can get a Mexico Planet file from
http://download.geofabrik.de/north-america.html. It is only 88Mb. If you
wanted to look at connections to cities in the US, you could pull the
border states individually. I can't remember if QGIS will read PBF format
files, but shapefiles are available from the same source, at no cost. The
data is available under the ODbL license which should be suitable for your
research.

Good luck,
Clifford
