No, I'm not using ArcView. I prefer opensource software though it
seems to be severly lacking in this area. I'm not seeing any freely
downloadable data at either website. I might beable to get jpegs from
one of them but that isn't what I am looking for. I was under the
impression that USGS has made all this data freely available. While I
have no problem paying for bandwidth or media, the prices seem like
they are much higher than those costs. Am I misinformed or just
missing something?
