Add a Bathymetry all in one file #170

Open brunob opened 8 years ago

brunob commented 8 years ago

Hi @nvkelso i remmeber using a derived shp which was a combined version of all bathymetry layers available here :

http://mapbox-geodata.s3.amazonaws.com/natural-earth-1.4.0/physical/10m-bathymetry.zip

I can't find any infos about this type of file in CHANGELOG of this repo, so it seems that people of mapbox created it form natural earth source. Anyway, what do you think about adding this to downloads available ?

I can be easily done with a small script like this : 

#!/bin/bash
# https://smathermather.wordpress.com/2013/06/08/ogr-for-merging-shapefiles/
# http://www.varunpant.com/posts/merge-multiple-shapefiles-using-ogr2ogr-in-windows-linux-or-osx
for f in *.shp; do ogr2ogr -update -append merged.shp $f -f "ESRI Shapefile"; done;

Sure, that's an easy Makefile automation.

Hit this today so would love to see it added to the downloads to avoid some (admittedly minor) manual processing.
