These statewide images were downloaded in county units or digital orthophoto quads
(DOQs or DOQQs) and assembled into seamless state coverages in a special web-oriented JPEG2000 format
using Microlmages' TNTmips geospatial analysis product.
Why
some states have missing
coverage ...
The statewide coverages are hosted by Microlmages' TNTserver product. TNTserver is a Web
Map Service (WMS) certified as compliant with this specification of the Open Geospatial Consortium
(OGC). These state images can also be combined for use with imagery, maps, and other layers from WMSs offered by other web sites.
There are many map and image layers available from thousands of web sites offering them
for viewing as
standard WMS layers. For example, Microlmages' WMS provides access to
statewide soil type maps; 10-,
30-, and 90-meter digital elevation layers; and various other global
geodata.
You need a WMS browser to locate and select WMS layers for viewing as composite maps in the viewers
listed. Microlmages provides TNTmap FREE for Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and Opera as a web
application, as a downloadable executable program, and as an Apple widget via
apple.com.
