Re: MI-L Free DRGs

[glenn]

John,
the same data is always for free at http://www.gisdatadepot.com
Even the 1:24 K DRGs are free as well rather than $1 per at mapmart

MI ANN: INGR GIS/Mapping email discussion

[Glenn Letham]

Hello list,
Since many MI users often struggle with Intergraph formatted
data translation issues, this new resource is likely a good
source for answers to your questions.

Intergraph GIS/Mapping email discussion list announced

Ever since we attended IGUG earlier this year in Huntsville,
Alabama, The GeoCommunity
has become a popular bookmark for Intergraph GIS/Mapping
product users. In order to
provide this user community with useful resources, we're
pleased to announce the
formation of a new email based discussion list... INGRLIST.

To subscribe simply send a blank email to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

You will then be sent some simple instructions and a
detailed description of the list.

Subscribers are encouraged to use the list to discuss
anything they think will be of
interest to the Intergraph GIS/Mapping user Community
including CAD, GIS and geospatial
technology news, events, data and software issues relating
to Intergraph GIS products
including GeoMedia, GeoMedia Pro, GeoMedia WebMap, GeoMedia
Web Enterprise, MFworks, and
MGE mapping products. In the future, if a particular subject
area becomes very popular
(ie. GeoMedia WebMap focussed discussions) then a separate,
more focussed discussion
lists may be spun-off.

The list is not moderated and will not be used as a
commercial forum.  The list will be
managed and maintained by GeoComm International. 
Subscribers email addresses will never
be used for any other purpose or redistributed. Once again
welcome, hopefully this list
will grow to become a valuable source of information and a
respected knowledge base to
the entire Intergraph GIS/Mapping Community.

Of course, industry gossip and informational tidbits
focussed on Intergraph's
GIS/Mapping initiatives are always welcomed :-)

The GeoCommunity will maintain the list, however, it will be
driven and guided by you,
the Intergraph GIS/Mapping user community.

Note, an on-line archive of the lists contents will be made
available in the near
future.

RE: MI Off topic - Importing PDF into MS Word etc...

[Nevill, Glenn]

Mats,

I happily stand corrected.  You are right about the graphic select tool,  I
had been looking for it and neglected to try the text select tool hold-down.
Now that I know it is there,  I can see the small black triangle in the
corner of the Text Select Icon indicating the flyout nature of the button.

Thanks for pointing it out.  I for one was in need of it.

What version of Acrobat Reader are you using.  I have Acrobat 4.0 and
Acrobat Reader 4.0 and both seem to be missing any way of selecting
graphics.  I remember being able to do it perhaps using Acrobat Reader 2 or
possibly 3.  But it is gone in version 4.

MI USGS 100k DLG files Help!

[Nevill, Glenn]

I am trying to figure out files in the USGS data download section.  DLG
files 100k scale.  The files with names like (1431479_TR_sdts_tar.gz)  . . .
no problem.  But what do I do with a file that has (opt) in the name?
Example,   in the 100k California Stockton folder  under transportation
there is a large file,  I know what that one is and how to unzip it.  But
there are several other files that break down transportation into
categories, which would be more convenient.  These have names like,
528163_RR_opt.gz.   

I just need to know how to unlock them.  


Second problem,  I have noticed that several of the line files, versus the
polygon files,  seem to be unstable or corrupt when trying to use them in
MapInfo.I don't know if the main file is corrupt or if it becomes
corrupt after running it through the sdts2mi program.   Anyone else notice
this problem?

I realize that we should keep this MI focussed, however, I'm sure many

posted daily summaries and images from the ESRI user conference.

Re: MI USGS 1:250,000 DEM file downloads and unziping...

In case anyone else was wondering what the solution to this problem was.

MI USGS 1:250,000 DEM file downloads and unziping...

[Nevill, Glenn]

I am trying to download the 1:250,000 DEM files on a Win NT 4.0 machine.  I
am trying to use WINzip to extract them.  I have tried the compressed and
uncompressed files.  When I try to extract it, it asks for a file extension
for the file.  I tried giving it a zip extension and the message is "Cannot
open file.  It does not appear to be a valid archive."   I have tried
several files with the same message, so I know it isn't the download.

Trying to open the uncompressed gz file with winzip give me the message
"Error reading header after processing 0 entries"

What is the trick here?  I tried going to gzip.org,  the FAQ's said if you
are using a Windows machine to use Winzip to extract a gz file.

I have no trouble downloading and extracting the 1:24,000 files.   But the
1:250,000 files have me stymied.

Thank you for any help you can give me.

MI Merging DEM or SDTS files

[Nevill, Glenn]

Hi,  I am new to this list and to MapInfo.   I was wondering if anyone has
come across a utility that will combine multiple USGS DEM files into a
single file.  I have been experimenting with the MapInfo tool called DEM to
grid, and while it works fine,  when placing multiple grids into a single
workspace,  there are lines and artifacts at the borders that are not
presentable in a finished map.

I know ArcInfo's Imagegrid has a merge function that does this,  but I don't
have access to this program.  

Has anyone come across such a utility?

Re: MI Best GIS

[glenn]

I want to add my 2 cents worth by pointing out that Intergraph will commence
shipping GeoMedia 4.0 next month. Look for a very simple to use, easily web enabled
desktop GIS that will be competitively priced to battle it out with MI and AV.

Everything I've seen so far indicates that this is a very slick product that we'll
be hearing lots more about in the future. Keep in mind that Intergraph is committed
to software development and solutions, so much so that they are getting out of the
hardware business.

For those wanting more info you can get some detailed product info in a section
that we've dedictaed to information we gathered at the latest Intergraph users
conference (IGUG), held last week in Huntsville, AL.

MI News: Feature on SA and GIS College Grads

[glenn]

Hello,
we've made a couple of new additions that may be of interest to some of
you.

1. SpatialNews.com has added to our resources concerning the latest
announcement regarding the elimination of
Selective Availability.

Exclusive Article "Selective Availability Goes Away"- Philip Chien,
Earth News (author and space writer for the past 15 years) gives us some
insight as to what can be expected by turning off SA.

Complete details can be found at http://www.spatialnews.com/features/sa/

2. We've contacted several Colleges that have specialized GIS programs
with a number of grads hitting the street in search of employment. We've
set aside a dedicated area in our Geo-Career Center where they will be
posting resumes. If your a recent grad looking for work or interested in
hiring a student fresh out of COGS, BCIT, or Sir Sanford Flemming, be
sure to check out their resumes in our GIS College grads section at
http://www.spatialnews.com/classifieds/grads

Regards
Glenn

PS: Happy Cinco de Mayo!

MI News: First Digital Three-D Map of the World

[glenn]

We've followed up on the latest accomplishments of the Space Shuttle
Endeavour with some first glances at imagery and an explanation of the
mission and the problems encountered with the thruster.

Feb. 14, (10:30 PM EST)- Spatialnews.com is pleased to announce that our
Exclusive - "A
Sneak Peek at the First Digital Three-D Map of the World" is now
available for viewing.
http://www.spatialnews.com/features/shuttle/

We have reports from our space correspondent with details on the
malfunctioning thruster. While the troubleshooting of the
thruster goes on the mapping of the world continues.  By the third day
of the mission the amount of the world mapped
in three dimensions had tripled. The world map won't be available for
another two years but there are a few 'sneak peek' images.

Re: MI Topography Mapping Mission

[glenn]

I'll keep you informed re: access to data from the mission.

BTW:
We just added an exclusive look at the commencement of data gathereing,
offered by our space reporter located in Cape Canaveral. The article is
located at
http://www.spatialnews.com/features/shuttle/earthnews1.html

Apparently there is still some discussion regarding who will be the official
custodians of the resulting DEM data - it will likely be the USGS but that's
not confirmed yet - I guess everything will wind up in SDTS format (I'm sure
all the users out there will love that!) if the USGS controls the data. We
get numerous requests every day regarding SDTS translation! Regardsless, the
data will be available from the EROS website. Cost??

Glenn

Re: MI Canadian Data.

[glenn]

A good place to start is Geogratis at
http://geogratis.cgdi.gc.ca/CLI/frames.html

A description of Geogratis can be found here
http://www.spatialnews.com/newsletter/newsletter11/section7.html

If you want more detailed data try the provincial government for the
desired province. If you want detailed street level data for Candian cities
then your out of luck as far as free data goes.

Also, consider checking out past editions of our free monthly GIS
NewsMagazine archived at
http://www.spatialnews.com/newsletter/

It comes out once a month (This month's came out today!) and each edition
has a section devoted to Canadian GIS Resources, often focussing on free
data.

Good Luck

displayed on hyperlinked maps where you'll find info on police
departments, crime analysis agencies, and other organizations involved
in Crime Mapping and GIS applications involving crime data. There's also
a mechanism to submit your resource as well.

You'll find the Crime Mapping Section at:
http://www.spatialnews.com/features/crimemaps/crimeresources.html

The section is young, but look for many additions in the near future.
Any additional contributions are appreciated.

Re: MI gis data depot?

[glenn]

Fran,
I'm not sure exactly which datasets your trying to access but I just went in to
Arizona and downloaded DOQs and DRGs for several areas with no problem. There's
allot of data available there so perhaps theres a few areas that you were
pointing to that are having trouble.

Can you indicate a specific file (url) which didn't access properly.

Regards
glenn

There are several categoris, one of which is DOQ.
There's some documents there that may assist you. The SDTS documentation
may also be a useful resource as well.

Re: SDTS to MIF or TAB translator

[glenn]

Tim,
This is something that I definitely want to look further into as well. It seems
that going from SDTS to MIf  is a common problem. Some quick solutions
(although likely not possible for you) would be to import directly using
ArcInfo (or get someone to do it for you). There are several commercial
translators available (FME for example) that you mentioned. I've found a few
references that you may wish to consult, unless you already have.

http://rmmcweb.cr.usgs.gov/public/outreach/dlginav.html

http://www.primenet.com/~piersen/arcview/convert.htm
http://www.fws.gov/data/gisconv/dlgtools.html
http://mcmcweb.er.usgs.gov/sdts/standard.html

MFworks at http://www.thinkspace.com/ts3translate.html

I'll look into this some more and let you know if I find anything

Regards
Glenn

The GeoCommunity is pleased to provide you with the Career Center. The
place to post your FREE GIS/CAD/Remote Sensing Industry Job Postings.

Post your Employment ad in one of 3 categories:
~ GIS

There's also a couple of mechanisms for you to freely post your
Job/situation wanted information. Feel free to post your resume in the

We hope you find this to be a valuable resource and encourage you to
tell all your friends and co-workers about it.
