GSHHS - global land areas and coastal lines in 5 resolutions
The record includes global land areas and coastal lines. It is based on the freely available data base GSHHS (A Global Self-consistent, hierarchical, high-resolution Shoreline Database) from Wessel and Smith. GSHHS is a high-resolution record of coastal paths, by merging two data sets from the "public domain". The original records were extensive edited by the GSHHS originators, and are now internally consistent and free of maverick points and intersecting lines. The coast lines are completely closed to polygons. According to the original data set are 5 stages of resolution made available: crude, low, medium, high, and full resolution. In the German coastal area, the coastal courses of the highest level of resolution are exchanced through accurate ECDIS ENC data of the BSH.
