MapViewer Boundary and
Data Files
The following is a list of boundary and data files included with
MapViewer. These files are suitable for creating a wide variety of
maps. You can download
MapViewer's boundary and data files from Golden Software's web site.
You can also create custom boundaries by combining existing boundaries or
by using the drawing tools. MapViewer can import boundary files in several
different formats so you can also use files created in other applications.
The MapViewer CD-ROM contains Golden Software’s entire library of
data files and boundary files.
