Openstreetmap.org

  • Great source for building
  • utlines, roads, water,

transportation etc.

  • Information varies based on

location

  • May not be 100% accurate
  • Download as a pdf, png,

jpeg, or svg from

  • penstreetmap
  • Download data as a

shapefile from Geofabrik

GIS Software

  • ESRI ArcGIS - commonly used commercial GIS software

– Runs on Windows – Macs use Bootcamp (or Parallels). – Available for download by MIT community.

  • Free, open source options (run on Mac & Windows)

– Quantum GIS (QGIS) – GVSig
