Maps?

[mark.wilson at rohoel.at]

There are many places to get map data. But whether you can use it will depend
upon your geographic area of interest, what you want to display, whether your
use is non-commercial or not, etc.

You may find resources available from ESRI's Geography Network (
http://www.geographynetwork.com/data/index.html ), but these generally come with
some sort licence restrictions (check for yourself).

Also try some of the sites listed at http://www.freegis.org

Personally, I have taken my worldwide country data from the offering from Blue
Marble Geographics ( http://www.bluemarblegeo.com ).

So where do I go about getting maps to put on my mapserver that I got up
and running?

Can I use the Tiger maps? Is there a way to convert them?

Any help for a new MapServer person greatly appreciated.

Thanks
