[mapserver-users] satellite / aerial imagery

[John Callahan]

The USGS site is a good one.  Check out http://gisdata.usgs.net/ for 
more info from USGS.

Also check out TerraServer and the satellite imagery on
http://www.perrygeo.net/wordpress/?p=35

Searching through http://geodata.gov/ may reveal something.  I usually 
get frustrated with that site but you never know what you'll find.

Note that very-high resolution imagery for North America as a 
raster/geotif may be a bit large.  Connecting to a WMS service or Tile 
Map Server (like Google, Yahoo, VE) might be a better bet.  I'm just 
getting started with MapServer so I really couldn't provide any 
instruction though.
