I need shapefiles for all administrative levels like country level, state level, division level and city level for all countries of the world?

After learning about the  datasets I've working with the following layers, from the USA data   Country boundaries State boundaries County boundaries City boundaries ZipCode/Postcode boundaries   What I am trying to find is the equivalent (where appropriate) of the same data for various countries.  Is there any free administrative boundaries available as shapefiles for other countries?

In the Browser it's not possible to delete Shapefiles. In ArcMap you can delete Shapefiles easily within the Catalog.   How can I delete Shapefiles in QGIS without minimizing the QGIS-Window, navigating to the folder on my computer, select all the files that belong to a Shapefile (shp, dbf, shx, prj, etc.) and delete it?

Layers like municipalities, countries,... have features sharing the border of their neighbours: they share the same vertices (except for the features at the edges off course). I have a municipality layer, which I set with a dashed stroke style. However, for adjacent features, the borders are displayed as a solid line (see picture)  How can I display all borders with a dashed stroke style? Now it seems to overlap.

I have a point shapefile of villages where data was collected in Northern Kenya. I created a buffer around those villages.   The second vector layer contains polygons defining areas according to vegetation type. So for example, a forest might be surrounded by a narrow ring of woodland in an area which is mainly grassland. I'm trying to obtain a percentage of each vegetation type within the buffer per village.   I'm using QGIS 1.7

I want to  create a small web application to visualize election results on a per poll site basis for my city. The result is going to be very similar to what has been done for Berlin . Hopefully this helps in understanding what I'm going for.  The election raw data on the scale I need is published and I know how to visualize this on the grounds of a shapefile with separate polygons lining out the election districts. My problem is - as you could probably guess - that something like this doesn't already exist.  What actually is published though, is a PDF file lining out the borders of the districts I'm interested in:   I'm not keen on redrawing the linework myself, so I'm looking for a way to make a shapefile out of this. Luckily, the PDf includes the linework as separate vector objects, I extracted these into a SVG file:   I already tried converting the SVG to a DXF and importing it into qgis 2.0.1. This actually works, but (as expected) places the vectors in the atlantic ocean and I can't find a way to edit it and fix this.  What can I do now to georeference these vectors with open source tools and finally produce a shapefile?

Since a shapefile can only contain a single geometry type (e.g. point, polygon, etc), how could I persist both?   If I must create a shapefile for each geometry type, how can I pass them to a colleague to load?  In kml I can just pass the single kml to load.  Is there a shapefile manifest equivalent that I am missing?

I'm looking to get data such as Size/Capacity, Serial No, Model No, Heads Sectors, Manufacturer and possibly SMART data.

I need a shapefile for India which is up-to-date to display the regional borders. By up-to-date (in 2014), I mean that it includes Telangana as a state. Many shapefiles that I downloaded do not have Telangana as a state as it was partitioned a month ago, it is displayed as part of Andhrapradesh.  So I need the latest shapefile.

I'm looking for an API or data source (or multiple sources) that provide the following information:   Countries Information: ISO code, Region, Capital, population, languages, currencies and climate. States Information: name and time zone Cities Information: name and time zone Airports Information: IATA, ICAO codes, longitude, latitude, altitude and time zone. Hotels Information: how many stars, number of rooms, longitude, latitude and type of rooms.   I want this information to be highly accurate and include latitude, longitude and time zones. also, I don't mind if it was a paid source. I can't use any source that have an affiliated program  I have checked geonames.org restcountries.eu world bank APIs booking.com they either have missing information or inaccurate

I'm creating a world made of cubes, similar to cube world game. Is there any quick way to create a map made of cubes that looks like this?

Are there any free, publicly available datasets for Singapore?   I've examined , ,  and the  datasets, but I'm interested in vector data of higher resolution and or any type of census information.

I've imported several shapefiles which where exported from a Mapinfo .tab. Several  .tab-files are imported resulting in 20+ layers. Afterwards I want to export it to GeoJSON; but I'm reluctant to select each layer and export it manually. Is there a way to merge all the layers into one using QGIS?

I am trying to represent trade flows on a world map where the size and direction of arrows indicate the exports/imports of a given country.  This type of map is commonly found in magazines and newspapers. However, I find it extremely difficult to make.   Is there any function in ArcGIS for Desktop or any free software that would help me in making it?

I'm developing a website that displays information about European festivals, including their addresss. Given that different countries use different address formats, I'm wondering what is the best "one size fits all" form that I can use to capture the address data. Obviously I could use something like:  Address Line 1 _____________ Address Line 2 _____________ Address Line 3 _____________ Address Line 4 _____________  Country* &lt;choose from drop down list&gt;   (Fields marked with * are mandatory)  The above is not very satisfactory as it allows the user to enter the address in an almost completely unstructured way. More specifically, it will make it difficult for me to extract the town/city and post code (if applicable), which I will need to do.  I want to make the form as structured as possible, while still accommodating all possible European address formats (within reason). The best I've come up with so far is:  Address Line 1 _____________ Town/City*     _____________ Address Line 3 _____________  Post Code      _____________ Country* &lt;choose from drop down list&gt;   This will force the user to enter the nearest town/city and country, which should allow me to plot the location on a map. I think the concept of town/city is pretty much universal, and if the country uses post codes, I can capture that information too.  However, it seems like this problem must have been considered at least a million times before. Are there any "best practices" that I should be following?

Can I create a 3D model in QGIS or is there some model for 3D city models?

I've a set of regions within a city. I'd like to split each region into five subregions and then get the centroid of each one of them.  I know how to make a vector grid, but the problem I have is that the generated points are not taking into account the regions, they're only related to the general map.  I have this:    And I want to split each region in five equal size areas. Something like this:    I'd like to build a visualization similar to this one: . In order to accomplish that, I need to split each region, because the original ones are pretty big.

Does anyone know any sources for free European city boundary data?
