[Geodata] Tiger WMS

[Randy George]

Hi,

 

                I occasionally use TIGER for WMS background but normally
just pull the area I need into PostGIS behind Geoserver.  I know that the
census plans to support OGC services eventually, but in the meantime is
anyone aware of a public TIGER WMS? 

 

I think TOPP changed theirs to a tiled only service which means using a
matching OpenLayers client. However, it is sometimes nice to be able to just
grab WMS images or KML for a more custom interface. 

 

Thanks

randy

200 million contract to update TIGER!! The quality better be outstanding!

If they had only asked, we could have saved them tons of money.

Anyhow, thanks for the link David, helpful.
