The original World Databank II is a vector dataset produced in the
1980s by the CIA. It includes world coastlines, rivers, and political
boundaries, and has over five million points. This is my updated version,
with political boundaries and reservoirs as of 2010 and many other
corrections, mostly for topology. Also includes a place-name index,
though this is far from complete. WDB3 is distributed in the original
plain-text format used by WDB2, along with a makefile (wdb3.mak)
which can convert it to PAT's binary format.
See the data page for unpacking instructions.
