----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Indirect answer: the final maps are often submitted to the U.N. and reproduced at full scale (ca. 1:5,000 - 1:20,000) in the U.N. Treaty Series, which is available in many reserch libraries. The lag time is probably considerable; 3 years would not surprise me. LC Hi there, I've just read the following note from a mailing list on Israeli current affairs BEGIN QUOTE Israel Radio, KOL YISRAEL reported today that teams from Israel and Jordan completed the demarcation of the border between the two countries this morning. Final maps are being submitted to both sides for approval before Wednesday's signing ceremony. END QUOTE It looks like those teams have a very tight schedule... Does anyone know how these final maps are produced? Do they use GIS or something similar? I'd be interested in the logistics of providing a map that quickly.
