Gerry from the Montana State Library provided us with an update about this fabulous free data resource for the State of Montana. Downloadable datasets include soils data, DEMs, topos, aerial photography, cadastral data and more. Features of the site include a simple but effective data list, a very cool data bundler, and the topo finder.. bookmark this one! http://nris.mt.gov/gis/

testing Open Layers Map Viewer Service
Just messing around, watching the Tigers spank the A’s and testing this Open Layers app… see http://openlayers.org/ for more info. The map shown below is easily embedded within any webpage… simply copy and past the code provided. More info includinng a tutorial is available from the Open Layers website… NICE! FYI… OpenLayers is a pure JavaScript library for displaying map data in most modern web browsers, with no server-side dependencies. OpenLayers implements a (still-developing) JavaScript API for building rich web-based geographic applications, similar to the Google Maps and MSN Virtual Earth APIs, with one important difference — OpenLayers is Free Software, developed for and by the Open Source software community.
