Free vector and raster map data at 1:10m, 1:50m, and 1:110m scales
- fortes 17y agoI'm so excited about this, it's actually a little bit embarrassing. I've got two geo-related projects that are half-finished -- both because I was dealing with poor / non-existent geographic data. I haven't had a chance to plug this new data into my code, but I can already tell it's vastly superior to any other free sources out there (OpenStreetMap may have more data, but it's not as conveniently packaged).
- mahmud 17y agoExcellent find! One of the best discoveries all week :-)
- elblanco 17y agoOh gosh, haven't tried the downloads yet, but good geodata is really hard to get without going through a bunch of hassle.
- wensing 17y agoI am literally in the process of changing out Stormpulse.com's maps for something higher res (BlueMarble at 500m), and this shows up. Awesome!
- RK 17y agoI know next to nothing about geographical data / cartography, but it would be nice to have these in SVG, like in this how to from Flowing Data: http://flowingdata.com/2009/11/12/how-to-make-a-us-county-thematic-map-using-free-tools/ http://flowingdata.com/2009/11/12/how-to-make-a-us-county-th...
- Dav3xor 17y agoI haven't looked, but it should be fairly easy to convert. Unless the data is in one of the proprietary GIS formats, then you're in for a late night hellride. GDAL/OGR may be your friend, or may not. It looks like a nice dataset, but only has center lines for rivers -- no polygon data.
