Hi everyone, just wanted to help announce that [https://github.com/JuliaGeo/GADM.jl](https://github.com/JuliaGeo/GADM.jl) has been released; it is developed by @zerefwayne under [https://fellowship.mlh.io/](https://fellowship.mlh.io/). The package provides **polygons/multipolygons** for **all countries and their sub-divisions** from the GADM dataset. It dynamically downloads the required data and gives you a simple API to interact with it.

A huge shoutout to @juliohm for his guidance throughout the project. Shower the project with some stars if you like it.
