Looking for vector data for the country Turkey, specifically roads, railroads, and rivers shapefiles... no cost would be nice, but it needs to be more detailed and accurate than mapcruzin's free data.

Something under $500 would also be considered.

Anyone here have experience/recommendations with locating low cost shapefile data for Turkey?

turkey.shp.zip 22-May-2012 05:09 59M ESRI Shapefile (EPSG:4326), zipped

has Turkey in Shapefile format extracted from the Master database on 22-May-2012.

You can use Quantum GIS (QGIS) to view the files.

Would recommend you load this data into a database postgres with postgis high recommended.
