- Subject: Map of a City
- Lines: 18
-
- I need to draw a map of a city, specifically Omaha, Nebraska. At this point,
- I only need to show census tracts although at some point in the future I may
- have to need to drop down to block groups. I have MapInfo, a PC-based
- package that will draw all sorts of nifty city maps like I need. But the
- size and scope of the data files that I need to load into the software makes
- this a less-than-convenient software solution. Ideally, I would like to be
- able to do all my 'stuff' with SAS on my mainframe or workstation - hence
- the need for a way to draw a map of the city.
-
- I would appreciate any clues on how to obtain and/or produce such a
- detailed map of the city. Thanks in advance.
