July 18, 2007, I received the TOPO! set for Nevada. It contains 7 CDroms, has a 2006 copyright (from Night, Inc.) and claims it holds TOPO! version 4.2. I am now busily loading their contents onto my hard drive so I can study them in more detail.
My Arizona and California sets had copyright notices from NGS as follows:
(c) 2001 National Geographic Holdings. All Rights Reserved.The Nevada set has:
(c) 2006 National Geographic Maps (c) 2006 Night, Inc. (c) Tele Atlas, North America, Inc.
On my linux machine, when I simply insert the CD, it gets automatically mounted, in my case as /media/TOPO on /dev/hda, and I just do the following:
cd /u1/topo cp -var /media/TOPO . mv TOPO nv_d01This gives me the contents of the CD in a newly created TOPO directory, which I then rename to NV_D01 and so forth. There seems to be a lot of stuff on this first CD as compared to the others.
The second disk mounts as /media/NV_D02 and contains the single directory nv_d02, so I do this:
cp -var /media/NV_D02 mv NV_D02/nv_d02 nv_d02 rmdir NV_D02
Beyond the first CD, I am seeing .tpq files with the first letters c, g, and h -- which is all quite new.
MY previous experience has been with the Arizona and California sets. I am seeing what looks like the entire United States on the first CD. In the SI_D01 directory, there are lots of G series files, which will bear some looking at. For example:
./TOPO/SI_D01/US_NW/B35105/D38106/G38106A1.tpq'
