Presently, VAPOR's georeferenced map drawing capability is limited to pre-bundled, GeoTIFF raster images. Most of the geospatial world uses georeferenced shape files to display political and land mass boundaries (and a variety of other georeferenced data). These shapefiles can be downloaded as needed from a running application. VAPOR should support display of vector shapefiles and the ability to download various commonly used forms as is done by other map plotting packages such as Python's Cartopy.
