It's not really run IRL though, or at least the US government isn't putting out official atlases (I don't think?)

- HillRat 7y agoThe Census Bureau’s TIGER/Line is the authoritative repository of US streets and features data, regularly updated by municipalities and counties. For-profit mapping services augment the data and use drivers to make sure they’re on top of streets changes, but you can do a great deal of work with just Census and municipal GIS data.
- mixmastamyk 7y agoUsed Tiger as my first online map in the mid 90s, thanks for the blast from the past. Probably found it thru "Cool site of the day."
- Somasis 7y agoTIGER's great, but if you're going to use it you might as well just use OpenStreetMap in the end; a lot of the data in the US is based on TIGER data and then reviewed, as TIGER has had a lot of issues with things like misnamed roads and misalignments of roads.
