GeoJSON Maps

[naesk]

Recently I needed to some GIS data in GeoJSON format but couldn't find any pre-existing files, nor a repository of such. Following Mike's "Lets make a map" tutorial http://bost.ocks.org/mike/map/ I was able to extract the data from NaturalEarth shapefile :)

As way of contributing back to the community, I've created some GeoJSON files (sorry no TopoJSON) for regions derived from specific attributes in the NaturalEarth ne_10m_admin_0_map_subunits shapefile. Each file has the shapefile attribute table maintained within.

Maybe the community could create a repository of both GeoJSON & TopoJSON of common regions and countries.

Please feel free to use them in your projects. http://www.mediafire.com/?5faef9y5ct8mn

Super helpful, Sean. Thanks.

Thanks a lot for doing this! I've been wondering myself why no repositories exist...

Hello,

I was having a hard time downloading it from the mediafire site for  a while. There were a lot of pop ups.
So I copied all the geojson files and converted them to topojson and created a github account.
You can find all the geojson and topojson files using the same folder structure as above.
I suggest downloading the zip file.   I am new to github so any suggestion are welcome.
