Hi,
I want to know if a libray containing shapes of countries is avaliable to used it as polygons (even with low resolution) for create clickable areas on Google Earth.
Thanks

You may be interested in the natural earth dataset (http://
www.naturalearthdata.com/) which has also been uploaded to Fusion
Tables for easy KML export (https://www.google.com/fusiontables/
DataSource?dsrcid=394713 )

There's also a basic world borders dataset at http://thematicmapping.org/
(this site is also includes some great ways to work with this type of
data).

Cheers,
