I am GMT user from Nepal.map of Nepal has been changed but GMT is using the old map.how can I get modified map of Nepal in GMT

Hello. What do you mean with “changed”? The borders?

I think the borders and coastlines in GMT are mostly from 1970’s databases, so more recent changes than that are not in the default GMT “coast” plotting. If you want a more recent border database, you may need to get it from another source like OpenStreetMap and convert it to GMT format for plotting.

Hi @ram2345 – I’m not familiar with the Nepalese boundaries. Does the OpenStreetMap Project show them the way you need them (great suggestion by @EJFielding)?

If yes, you can extract them on https://osm-boundaries.com/. Next step would be converting them with GDAL to a GMT-readable format. Now you can plot them with GMT.

Replace the actual symbol with its octal code
