Description

We have support for shapefile map format in navit.

But there seems to be no documentation for this driver.

As far as I can see from the code, navit uses additional mapfilename.dbfmap file to do mapping between shapefile and navit item/attribute types.

I would like to have description of this file and some usage example on our wiki.

I think this map driver could be usable to use data for overview map from ​http://www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/

I agree, that we need docs for all features that are available :)

Personally I think we should put our very limited ressources currently more to OSM etc. as it's one of the leading public geodata ressources and also assimilates other sources. Also the work with shapefile might cause a lot of errors and needs more support.

Anyway, in the end we just need somebody who does the job ;)
