    Hi Lads,

    I'm looking for the co-ordinates for the county borders to create a few polygons on google maps. Anyone have any :D or know somewhere I can download them or something?

    Thanks
    Gary

    I haven't tested this out, but it looks like what you're looking for

    Google Earth KMZ Link for Ireland & UK county borders

    Now that seems to be the job thanks for that, have to figure out how to convert KMZ to CSV now.

    KMZ files are actually ZIP files.

    You can open it up with any ZIP utility, eg. the free 7-Zip utility.
    When you open up the 080505-__GB_and_Ireland_County_Boundaries_[92977].kmz file in the link I provided with 7-Zip, there's an XML based file called doc.kml

    So you can open doc.kml with any text editor and extract the coordinates manually.
