		<description>Someone ported that shp2pgsl to mysql - so there is now shp2mysql which works great for getting shapefile data into mysql.  haven't tried drawing the data back with GD yet though....anyone successful with that?  It seems this site is slightly outdated.</description>

		<description>I am assisting with the site Cracids.org for the conservation of Cracids, which are rare South American birds.  I would like to combine shape file information from Infonatura with Google Maps to show the distribution of about fifty species of birds.  There is no funding for this project.  I am hoping someone will volunteer time to help me get this running.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the post Mike. It's quite old, but came in really handy.

I stuck with one problem though... and can't seem to find an answer. I downloaded city planning shape files and ran them through the shp2text - everything came out just fine, but the coordinates in the State Plane system, and I can't find anything on how to convert them or use them correctly with Google Maps API.  Do you have any ideas about it?

Thanks again for a great post!

P.S. BTW, what are those numbers "3 4" standing for in the conversion line 
/shp2text --gpx statesp020.shp 3 4 &#62; output.gpx ?</description>

		<description>Wow, this documentation just made my day! Thanks for the great documentation. probably would have taken me a couple days worth of trial and error to get all my shp data imported into SQL. THANKS!</description>

		<description>Thanks for this post; I've been tearing my hair out trying to work out how to make density maps with google or yahoo maps.

There's a vast amount of data at http://geodata.grid.unep.ch/: iirc, they have shapefiles of first and second-level administrative boundaries, and a lot of data on population, economics, etc, to go with it.

I've been using server-side tools for this kind of thing (e.g. http://www.ohuiginn.net/mt/2006/11/westminsters_map.html), but the next time I have a free afternoon I'll have a bash at doing the same thing as a google maps mashup</description>

but I do work at a large firm.  It has all the capabilities you require.</description>
