Need Lat/Long info for Political boundaries in FS

Hi,I'm adding a feature to my program that is under development. Long story short, I need to be able to determine if the aircraft in FS is in a certain country or geographic region.To do that, I need to know the Lat/Long Coordinates that define each country's boundaries.Programming that is easy once I have the info. The hard part is getting the LAT/LON coordinates for national boundaries.I don't have a World Map handy. Does anyone know where, on-line,I can get a map that displays Lat/Lon for all the world's countries?The coords for the national borders don't need to be super accurate, just a ball park will do... ie., define France as one big square with lat/long coords even if it cuts into parts of Germany and Spain a bit.. that's ok. Is it possible to read the info I'm looking for info using a Flightsim Scenery Utility?Is there a Flight Scenery utility that can display a world map with coords?Thanks,Bryan

Maybe this site helps:http://www.maproom.psu.edu/dcw/I allows you to download the data of the borders. You should then be able to calculate in which country you are. I guess when you google around a bit you will be able to find more sources.

If the world should blow itself up, the last audible voice would be that of an expert saying it can't be done.
