Once you've clicked on the hypso or transpo layer, you'll be taken to a page where you can select which quadrangle you want. The 100K data is plenty good for our purposes. Even more detailed data is available in the 24K hypso and transportation layers, but I recommend against going that route.

What we're after here, is the Hypsography 100K DLG (for topo) or Transportation 100K DLG (for roads etc). You'll be presented with a list of different types of map data available for that county. will take you to the GIS Data Depot, where you can choose the state that you're interested in and then further specify countywide data and which county you're looking for. Various maps as the National Atlas for the U.S. The USGS has compiled a large number of Swiss Replica Watches Have Lowrance City Streets (aka Marine and Recreation) CD, then there is no need to mess with the Tiger data at all, since you've already got it on the CD. The DCW data is of some use, for areas outside the U.S., since it does show some additional detail above and beyond what is typically contained in the basemap and or uploadable Worldmap of most GPS receivers. Beįorewarned, that neither the Tiger data, nor the DCW data is anywhere near as good as the real USGS DLG data.

ESRI also has data derived from the Defense Mapping Agency's, DCW (digital chart of the world), for free download. Tiger data is originally compiled by/for the census bureau and contains, detailed even if not so accurate street data, in addition to a wealth of demographic and environmental data. ESRI has available for free download, the Tiger95 data for the whole U.S., in Both SDTS and DLG-O formats are equally useable. There are some areas of the country that are only available in the older DLG-O format. , for availability of transportation (roads) data. See ,for availability of topographic data, or The USGS in an effort to encourage the use of SDTS, has made data for nearly the entire country, available for free. It is the most commonly available format of free vector data for the U.S. SDTS stands for Spatial Data Transfer Standard, or something like that. The first two types are the SDTS DLG and the DLG-O. There are 4 primary sources and 3 different types of vector map data for use with OziExplorer. What I'll present here, will be useful, but you can skip the stuff about OziMC.
