Apr 4th, 2006 by JTJ

Yeah, it's a press release about a commercial product, but one that may be of interest and use to some of our readers:

2005 TIGER/Line Files with New Economic Census Geographies

Dear  GeoStats USA Subscriber,

GeoLytics has released the 2005 TIGER Line Files in their newest product, StreetCD 2005.  This CD/DVD set includes the new economic census boundaries and updated voting districts.  You get the latest Census Bureau updates in this very asy to use data set that comes complete on just two DVDs.

With GeoLytics StreetCD 2005, you can quickly and easily export any layers from the 2005 TIGER Line Files street and boundary data for use in ArcView and MapInfo.  With GeoLytics intuitive windows interface you can export boundaries in seconds.  You can also view and map the layers yourself with the product’s built-in mapping software.

StreetCD 2005 is also easy to use.  All you have to do is click on the geographic layers you want, pick the geography, and run your selection – that's it!  It instantly creates ArcView shapefiles and can quickly convert these to MapInfo mid/mif files if you use this software.

In addition to the new economic census boundaries \and voting districts, the StreetCD 2005 provides detailed classifications for all roads, railroads, hydrography, and landmarks, as well as legal, statistical, and administrative boundaries for census, transportation, health, education, and more.
