Fortunatly, the map features catelogue doesnt actually change that much year over year. ie. and 'airport' will will still be called an 'airport' next year. .... maybe the classID number can change, or themes get re-aranged which is easy to adjust and keep track on the chart.
Do you have a link the the latest catelogue .pdf? (will same me digging) and im sure the 2011 dataset will be better than this year too :) ..... diffs can be created like canvec is planning on doing. cheers, sam On 9/16/10, Ian Dees <[email protected]> wrote: > Sam, as far as I know the 2010 TIGER shapefile defintion hasn't been > released yet.
