	In addition to the NASA data that has already been described, there
is the Defense Mapping Agency (part of US/DOD) World Vector Shoreline Data.
The WVSD is much higher resolution than the NASA data and I believe is now
available for commercial use.  Forgive me but I don't remember the resolution
offhand and I couldn't find it quickly.

	I use their Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED) and find it to be
a nice product.  Mail me if you are interested.
