I wanted to know if anyone would be able to help me get spatial data about Zambia or at least point me in the right direction. I've recently discovered Openlayers and all the interesting things you can do with maps and would like to see what I can create for Zambia. Any kind of Zambian data would be great. thank you in advance for your help<BR>
