Hi again Maureen,

I forgot to add the most importatnt electronic map of the world (in my
oppinion) to my list:

NIMA (National Imagery and Mapping Agency) VMap0 (Vector Map Level 0), which
is a digitized version of the ONC - Operational Navigation Chart at
1:1,000,000. It comes on 4 CDROMs and can be obtained from your local USGS
map dealer for $100 or something.

It also runs under WinNT, however you'll need additional software in order
to visualize the map content. It's called NIMAMUSE (National Imagery and
Mapping Agency Mapping, Charting & Geodesy Software Environment) and can be
downloaded from the NIMA's web site (www.nima.mil) at no cost.

If you're using ArcInfo or ArcView in your library there's also a version of
VMAP0 designed specifically to meet the needs of ArcInfo users. It's called
DCW (Digital Chart of the World) and is available from ESRI for $300 or so.


Thanks,


Michael Okonek
