- drawing programs import DXF files into street map file.

- ------------------------------------------------------
- What types of ScreenMap map files are available today?
- ------------------------------------------------------
-
- Every county of the U.S.A. is available from ScreenMap Co. We call them
- ScreenMap COUNTY FILE.
-
- Each ScreenMap COUNTY FILE contains digital county map data, including
- highways, highway names, streets, street names, water boundaries, railroad
- tracks, county boundaries, and address ranges on most of the street segments
- for an entire county. COUNTY FILE sizes can reach over 10 MB for the
- largest county (for example, Los Angeles County around 11 MB), but most of
- the files are less than 5 MB.
-
- All of the map files are extracted from 1990 Topologically Integrated
- Geographic Encoding and Referencing (TIGER) files which have been reorganized
- to make the map files compact and easy to search. TIGER files are
- computerized census data for the entire United States, developed by the U.S.
- Census Bureau to provide street address and other census data.
-
