[OSM-talk] Teleatlas file format

2008-03-21 Thread Alilo
Hi,

Does any one know what file format or database Teleatlas/navteq uses
for the maps they are selling to their clients?
Is there a sample file somwhere? I searched and didn't find any.

I read that both TeleAtlas and Navteq do supply data in GDF. There are
two well-known GDF examples linked here:

http://www.ertico.com/en/links/links/gdf_-_geographic_data_files.htm

The format is quite ugly and, as far as I understand, they're toying
with a transition to some XML format.

I don't know about NavTeq, but Tele Atlas data is available in GDF, RMF,
Oracle, and Shapefiles.

If you google for multinet shapefile you'll find the table definitions for
the shapefile data (the geometry is just points, polylines, and polygons).

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.
