Daniel,

More complete topographic information. I recall learning a long time ago
that shapefiles are not as topographically complete as other formats such as
the older (and excellent) .e00 files. Do gdb files have any additional
information compared with shp files? Are they preferred for some reason?

Thanks,

Rich
