Hi all, who knows how to get an ESRI Shapefile for the NUTS-2 Regions of the enlarged European Union? Particularly I want to draw maps of Germany, Poland, Czech Republik, Hungary and Austria. I've found Shapefiles for the US, Russia and other countries elsewhere in the web, but for Europe it seems really difficult. With many thanks for any hint Albrecht
http://www.openstreetmap.org/ might be one place to start.

Dear Albrecht, on ESRI's site you should be able to download a shapefile with details down to NUTS2 for the area you're interested in. Check http://www.esri.com/data/download/basemap/how_to_download.html out. Please also consider posting such questions on the R-sig-Geo mailing list (submissions to r-sig-geo at stat.math.ethz.ch).

Here are some sites that I found with maps of europe (or more, but eourope is included). I don't know how up to date these are, so check them out for yourself: http://www.vdstech.com/map_data.htm http://openmap.bbn.com/data/shape/timezone/ http://arcdata.esri.com/data_downloader/DataDownloader?part=10200&stackback Hope this helps, -- Gregory (Greg) L.
