BASE MAPS AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM ON DVD-ROM

The Fairbanks North Star Borough base maps and data from the FNSB Geographic Information System (GIS) are available to the public on DVD-ROM. The GIS includes the Borough base map on a single file, taxroll and ownership information, zoning, Borough-owned lands, soils maps, U.S.G.S. maps, and other information. The base map is generated in AutoCAD (.dwg file), and can best be viewed using AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT from AutoDesk. If you do not have AutoCAD or another .dwg viewer, the CD includes the installation file for Edrawings DWG, a free Viewer from Solid Works. The GIS data is generated using ArcGIS 9.x (geodatabase and shapefiles), and can best be viewed using ESRI's ArcGIS software. If you do not have ArcGIS, the DVD contains the installation file for ArcExplorer, the free GIS viewer from ESRI. Sample projects are included for ArcGIS and ArcExplorer to help you get started. The cost of the DVD is $50.00.
