GNIS Features to Google Earth Maps

This is a new program I wrote that creates county-wide
Google Earth Maps in the USA for features listed in
the GNIS database (cemeteries, churches, schools, etc)

Get the data here:

Mapping

QGIS is a free program that is very powerful.  I am interested in helping people
who want to learn about this program.  I'm no expert, but I can get you started.
This can even be done remotely, so just get with me if you have time to spend
on this. temp4@mflan.com

I am looking to trade topographic maps - preferably electronic DRG's.  I'm primarily
interested in obtaining 15 minute DRG's.
I have an extensive collection that includes most of the US.  For a listing of what
I have, see:
Topographic Maps owned by MF
 

Benchmark information/locations.
 

Topographic Map Indexes

Shapefiles for topographic map indexes in the USA and Canada can be found here:

Geologic and Structural Features in the USA

If you can't locate a geologic or structural feature in the USA, and you need help,
contact me and I might be able to help you out.
 


GPS


I have an extensive collection of thousands of GPS waypoints.  I'm always
looking to trade waypoints with other people.  Contact me if you are interested:
temp4@mflan.com

Some of the waypoints I already have are listed here.
 

Name your state and/or county if you want a specific area.  I'd prefer
to trade with you, but if you don't have anything to trade, I'll probably
just send it to you.
 

I also have a GeoCache SE of Houston, TX:
Houston TX GeoCache
 


Here are a few Texas GPS sites I've visited.


A freeware program that downloads/uploads information for Garmin units
can be found at the Waypoint+  web page.
