Title: Possible GIS location for Forests?
Post by: m38a1guy on November 05, 2006, 03:17:08 AM

Hi, I downloaded one of the files but it wasnt GIS format, but it was 90mb uncompressed 13 compressed, I think this may be the GIS info needed but I dont know how to use it?

Well, that's great for the Clearwater National Forest!  Seems like that data only covers that forest, not the whole country.

I couldn't see exactly what we're looking for on the NPS site, either, but keep looking.

If the data on Clearwater is in shapefile format (.shp + some other files) then all you'd need to do is convert to GPX.  There are a few programs out there ($$$) to do it, or you can wait until we add shapefiles to TF.  I've got export to shapfile (tracks) working so far...

I can wait. lol But if you can add the data for this that would be great, I think they also had Nez Pierce forests etc. I would think all the Park sites would habe there own data?

BTW the extension was .eoo? I think either that or .00e really wierd but 90mb.

Thank god, you will be getting shape files soon, the FS here is wanting our trails directory, and I have tp print it off for them so they can digitize to ARC.
