Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

Also, as Ugo said, consider using Shapefiles.  At least in the US,
the National Weather Service has made available very high
resolution map bases.  I don't know what they might have posted for
the rest of the world...I'll again have to wait until I go back to
work, since the URL of their site is on my computer there...

The NWS catalog is at http://Isl715.nws.noaa.gov/mapdata/newcat/

It looks to me as though their coverage is limited primarily to
the U.S., with some data for off-shore regions + Canada & Mexico.
