Hello,
I know it's a long shot, but I'm wondering if anyone knows of any free
sources of detailed roads data for California that is better than
Tiger. Or, are there any WMS services out there that offer better
data? We are a non-profit organization who is publishing an interactive
map of public parks in the state. We've tried overlaying our data on
top of a google basemap using OpenLayers but the result is confusing.
Ideally, we would like to create our own custom basemap. Tiger data
will suffice, but it would be nice to have better data. I don't suppose
any of the large data organizations such as tele atlas ever offer
low-cost licenses to non-profits?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jennifer
Have you considered writing to Caltrans about data? Might be worth a
shot. The engineers and web people I've talked to there are all about
sharing, and it might be catching on with the management.
Cheers,
Sean
