We have bought Navteq data and OS data in MIF/MID format which is pretty simple. One can also normally request it as: ESRI Shape file, MapInfo TAB This looks useful, they seem to offer downloads in different formats http://www.xyzmaps.com/sample.htm There are many others (see this quote)! "You can also use the built-in converters to convert maps from MapInfo MIF/MID, ESRI SHP, ESRI .E00, TIGER, SDTS, VPF, DLG, and AutoCAD DXF or DWG formats, as well as over 75 other formats. Manifold can read terrain elevation data and satellite photos in all popular formats. US government servers are a great source for hundreds of thousands of free maps and data sets. Since Manifold can import data from Oracle OCI, ODBC, OLE DB, ADO .NET databases as well as file-oriented database formats like DBF, XLS, MDB and many others, numerous "text" and other format databases may be used to create maps." http://www.manifold.net/explore/faq.html See link here for an example order form: > Alilo > _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
