Order FGDL Data on CD-ROM or DVD |

individual datasets. Here are the instructions on how to order data:

cannot be filled without this signature.

Use FGDL Data |
| Using FGDL data requires GIS software. For just viewing the data, several free software options are available including ArcExplorer. For analysis of geographic data, there are numerous software packages that are available. A list of free, recommended GIS software packages is on the FGDL Software page. A complete (may take a long time to download) list of GIS software is on our GIS Software page.
To learn more about using FGDL data, you can take a 2 day course specifically dealing with FGDL data and how to use it. Look at the Continuing Education Course page for more information.
