Hello, Quick question on the maps posted at ftp://aprs.tamu.edu - the following lines are taken from the HowTo Maps portion of the Wiki:
"Tiger/Line 2003 data converted to shapefile format is available from ftp://aprs.tamu.edu/. Look in the "pub/TIGER_2006_SE/" directory." "The 2006 Second Edition data were processed by Jason Winningham and made available on the ftp://aprs.tamu.edu/ site by Gerry Creager" If the 2003 files are in the /pub/TIGER_2006_SE/ directory, does that mean the 2006 2nd Edition files are in /pub/TIGER2006/ ? Anyway, over the weekend I downloaded the Texas map package from /pub/TIGER2006/, and I liked the improvement over the online Tiger maps with respect to detail and being more up to date, and I especially liked the fact that when set to a higher level than the weather radar maps, the weather in the radar map still appears, but does not hide the Tiger map details. Obviously the maps I downloaded are transparent and show the layers below, which is really great. I assume that's because they are shapefiles? I already liked combining the radar with the online Tiger maps, but combining it with the downloaded maps is awesome. Hats off to the developers - this is really good stuff.
