Summary
Abstract: The Vector Map Level 0 (VMap0) and Vector Map Level 1 (VMap1) databases are
designed to provide vector-based geospatial data at low (VMap0) and medium
(VMap1) resolutions. The content of VMap0 database is similar to the previously
published Digital Chart of the World (DCW), enhanced with low-resolution
bathymetry for global coverage. A reference ... View entire text
