I have real doubts about TIGER '97. In general, I have doubts about govt.
thoroughness. I'm sure it's better than TIGER '95. We see every release
getting better.
I would like to see a head to head comparison, if you're going to make this
claim.

>I saw (and saved) a MapInfo list posting from Sept 1, 1998 that discussed

>Jeff Rogers, "If you are a current Wessex customer you can expect to be
>contacted by GDT about the exciting opportunities arising from GDT's recent
>acquisition of your current data provider. Next you will be told that GDT
>will be providing updates to your current data for reasonable prices." Well
>as a BLR customer---that is exactly what happened. At the time, the Sales
>Rep said they could provide the data at the pricing we had discussed in
>July.

>Now the powers that be are letting go of the purse strings here for some
>quick end-of-year purchases. I just spoke with a Sales Rep and he explained
>to me that StreetNetwork 7.5 w/EAL is the latest version, but it will not
be
>supported starting in January.

>He said that DynaMap 1000 or DynaMap 2000 were the replacement products
>depending on my need to geo-code my data. The quoted price was "shocking"
>to say the least. 7 times the StreetNetwork price!! Well that is not going
>to fly!!
>
>Is DynaMap more accurate and complete than StreetNetwork?

>What other sources are available for this type of data? Any and all help
>would be appreciated.

>I know there are a couple of list members out there who are using MapInfo

>what you are using for your applications----in particular if it deals with
>the distribution side or database marketing.
