It is very useful for me ! Now, i'm adapting this file to display it on google maps. I converted the polygons from kml format to a json format. Thus, i reduce the display time. But, it is not enough. It takes about 1 minute to display the entire world. This KML file is too precise (too many polygons and too many points) and not ideal for web-based representation. To improve efficiency of my script, i'm therefore seeking a simplified KML file of the world with each country but constructed with less vertex and not with all coasts details. Do you know if such a file exists and where ? Or better, i'm seeking a version based on the encoded Gpolylines. Ideally, i would need four levels of zoomFactor (http://www.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/polylinealgorithm.html), each one being used at different levels of zoom such as described in the Google maps API / Encoded polyline ( http://www.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/index.html#Encoded_Polylines ). Do you know if someone would have produced such a file, whereby country borders match well ? Post Extras
