[PLUG] Continent->Country->State/Province free DB
|
To get a state / county / locality database, there is an accounting
standard (2 digit state, 2 digit county, then 5 digit locality) for
taxes here in the US.
A local firm in Malvern is one of the top three tax-rate service
bureaus for US businesses. The firm is Vertex. My contact there is
mailto:Alan_Andersen@vertexinc.com Although he does OS support, he
may know who internally to refer you to.
They may also have cartesian coordinates of the maps they also
publish. Also, you may want to check out the US and Canadian zip
code alignments too -- that would be at the US government or USPS
sites.
Or try either the US Geological Survey, NASA or one of the
Geo-Positioning electronics mfging firms for this. There probably is
a public knowledge database of this info.
(You may even try the meterology dept of Penn State in State
College, where a lot of the weather maps have been prepared since
the 80's.)
