bq. Unfortunately, borders are poiatlcilly complicated. Try setting the border between Pakistan and India. Or the border between New York and Ontario in the 1810 s. Not a new problem, no magic wand.Sure, but you don’t need a magic wand when it comes to the current borders of Israel, Iraq, Taiwan, and Hong Kong as recognized in the CIA World Factbook for example. Why not use those borders? When you come across a disputed border just say so in the program. Use dotted lines and the like. It really isn’t a matter of being poiatlcilly correct. It’s about being technically correct and up to date. That is something developers should strive for, not shrug off. Most of all when it is a project of a taxpayer funded agency.
