A new spatial clearinghouse at CalAtlas was rolled out today by “The Governator”… The innovative approach to technology, called Cal-Atlas Geospatial Clearinghouse will allow the general public to access maps, data and information that has not previously been accessible on a single site or from a single source. Of interest, CalAtlas is reported to be a portal to help organizations work together on GIS data and share the costs of acquiring imagery and other kinds of geospatial data – make sure you check out the link to download data from CaSil where you’ll find tons of imagery including NAIP, Landsat imagery, DOQQs and much more! You can even grab all the DRGs you want in MrSID or TIFF… sorry DataDepot, your 1990s era data repository is quickly being replaced by all these fine web services that are data-rich, fast, simple to use… and Free!
