Hermosillo, Sonora, M=E9xico, April 8, 1998: ICON Land Services, Inc. =
has teamed with GeoGRAFX of Tucson, Arizona, to offer its international =
mining, pipeline, and real estate clients 1:50,00 and 1;250,00 INEGI =
index map, geologic and topographic maps in digital format.
 
INEGI Index map Information is captured from the INEGI 1990 Index to =
Geographic Information. Each map outline is located in decimal degrees =
and includes the map ID, map name and types of maps available for that =
particular scale. Data formats include ArcView .shp, Atlas .agf, and =
MapInfo .mif.
 
INEGI Raster Maps The INEGI 1:50,000 and 1:250,000 base maps are scanned =
as a 24-bit color image at a minimum resolution of 500 dots per inch =
(dpi). The RGB image is then viewed, and georeferenced to points at the =
corners of the maps. The image is then resampled to 250 dpi and =
converted to an 8-bit color image to reduce the file size to =
approximately 66 megabytes. The resulting image is saved in a TIFF file =
format and the georeference points as .tfw and .tab files.
 
INEGI Vector Maps Map features are derived from scanned images of the =
INEGI 1:50,000 and 1:250,000 base maps. The scanned images are converted =
to vector format and the geo-referenced information is then coded to =
reflect requested information. Tic marks are included to represent =
corner points of the original maps. Data formats include ArcView .shp, =
Atlas .agf, MapInfo .mif and AutoCAD .dxf.
 
 
Volume discounts are available. All products are copyrighted and not for =
resale at the above referenced prices.
 
ICON Land Services, Inc. is a U.S. based international corporation with =
offices in Hermosillo, Sonora and Tucson, Arizona, specializing in =
property acquisitions for individuals and companies active in the =
communication, mining, pipeline, real estate and utility industries.
 
GeoGRAFX, based in Tucson, Arizona, provides technical graphics services =
and products to companies requiring illustration, drafting, digitizing, =
