I found the new 2008 version of the Tiger maps at the Census web site
and tried to get them to work with Xastir but most of the dbfinfo strings
have changed (and even some files have disappeared). That means I have to go
through all the hassle of reworking the dbfawk files again.
My question is, how does the online Tiger map server generate such
good-looking maps? I realize they are raster maps. What I wan to know is
how they pick the features to display and how they layer them? Is there a
web site for the server that explains anything? Who provides that map
server? What version of Tiger maps are they based on?
A quick search on Google found:
