Global Insight
Global Insight is a 1:1,000,000 scale digital map database of the entire world. With coverage divided by feature over a small number of intermatching layers, it is an ideal data set for global reference mapping. The database contains up-to-date political mapping at two scales (1:3M and 1:1M), time zones, coastlines, international borders, some first level administrative borders and over 345,000 named places with size classification and urban sprawls. Place names are spelled in both local and alternative form (English conventional name, second national language or long/short form). All place names use diacritic (accented) characters where available.
The extensive place name gazetteer allows rapid location of almost any city, town or village in the world. Place data records include country name and 1st level administrative region (where available) which assists when identifying an ambiguous name.
