The viewer was made seamless by incorporating GDAL. In addition to matching the Topozone URL 's, the website offers free download of GeoTIFFs , which Topozone had only offered for a premium. TopoQuest started adding Canadian 1:50K scale topographic maps in July 2008, and USGS 1:100K and 1:250K scale topographic maps in March 2009.
Geoforge provides open source software. It leads in a platform [13] that manages geosciences data and uses WorldWind features to provide a display of geo-localised geosciences objects. Dapple [14] is a fork of the NASA WorldWind project, it is an Open Source project created by developers at Geosoft.
Currently, the best source for nationwide LiDAR availability from public sources is the United States Interagency Elevation Inventory (USIEI). [1] The USIEI is a collaborative effort of NOAA and the U.S. Geological Survey, with contributions from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the US Army Corps of Engineers, and the National Park Service.
However, in many cases, it is also that which makes the program free (and sometimes open source [1]), avoid the need of an Internet connection, [2] [3] [4] and make it very lightweight (allowing use on small portable devices, including smartphones). Very basic programs like this may not be suitable for road navigation in cars, but serve their ...
Kentucky Open Data Portal: The Kentucky Open Data Portal is a site for exploring, accessing and downloading Kentucky-specific GIS data and discovering mapping apps. You can analyze and combine datasets using maps, as well as develop new web and mobile applications. [13] KyFromAbove
Map data is collected by ground survey, personal knowledge, digitizing from imagery, and government data. Ground survey data is collected by volunteers traditionally using tools such as a handheld GPS unit, a notebook, digital camera and voice recorder. Software applications on smartphones (mobile devices) have made it easy for anybody to survey.
There are 2 kinds of data: raster GIS files — surfaces with limited precision represented by dots (pixels) — most of time topographic data; and vector GIS files — dots, lines and polygons. Below are both the biggest families, and some links to download the files needed for this tutorial.
The data was entered in spreadsheet format or in ESRI shapefiles and submitted via e-mail to the USGS National Geospatial Technical Operations Center(s) in Denver, Colorado, and Rolla, Missouri. During the registration process, prospective volunteers submitted a list of the 7.5 minute quadrangle maps on which they wished to work.
