Dear users,
I did not see this cited in the mailing list archive so I thought others may find it useful as a source of basic GIS layers.
Natural Earth
http://www.naturalearthdata.com/
They seem to import fine into GRASS, and vectors have clean and informative attribute tables.
Apologies if this info in redundant and/or misplaced.
Kind regards,
Luigi

Hi Luigi,
There is a lot of nice data on there. I've had some trouble trying to import the vector data, however. I keep getting a buffer-overflow with v.in.ogr (see below). It happens with 6.4.0RC5, and with 6.5.svn. How did you import them?
Cheers
John

Hi
If it helps, building Grass from source fixes this issue. I’m on Ubuntu 9.10. and 6.4.0RC5 is working importing shapefiles now.
Cheers

I am. I apt-get purged the version of gdal-bin from the repositories and compiled a nice new gdal 1.6.3 from source. It works now.
It's a really nice dataset. Just having country outlines to use as a mask is an excellent result.
Cheers
