Two steps:

  1. Retrieve the data from OSM,
  2. export them to the required format.

For #1, it depends on what you mean by “administrative boundaries”. You can use XAPI (e.g. every boundary=administrative element), or retrieve the OSM data in any other way.

Then, to convert OSM data to IGC, you can use GPSBabel.

You can obtain administrative boundary at http://downloads.cloudmade.com/

And convert them with gpsbabel. I try this, but it fail because there is more than 99 route in osm file. Maybe look at an other destination file format.

XAPI isn't useful for me because waypoints are sorted by ways. When, in one relation, one ways finish next waypoint is sometimes from distant point what create a web on real boundary is some software. For single relations OSM Relation Analyzer is better.

I think from Cloudmade you can obtain all boundaries what is too much for me.
