I think it is fantastic. I was looking at your map as a possible option to include in a printed Newcomers Guide I'm developing for my county. However, at the same time, I also contacted my Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WISDOT) and asked them if I could use their maps in my project. I did NOT expect them to say yes, but they did say yes and noted that it is public information!<br><br>Well, I will be using their maps. But, I wanted to forward this find to your group, because I'm sure you can use it to update your maps of the state of Wisconsin.<br><br>I'm forwarding the information I received from WISDOT. You can follow up with them if you'd like to double check this info.<br><br>Here is the page where I found their maps online for download - and at the bottom, they also list contact info.<br><a href="http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/travel/maps/county.htm">http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/travel/maps/county.htm</a><br><br>This page talks about how to get digital data:<br>http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/business/publications/mapdata.htm<br><br>I hope this helps with your project. If I ever get a GPS device I'd love to help more!<br><br>Best,<br>-Lynn<br><br><br>-------- Original Message --------<br>Subject: <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>RE: question about use of WISDOT Map of Washington County<br>Date: <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Tue, 1 Apr 2008 14:46:56 -0500<br>From: <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Cowan, Kenneth <kenneth.cowan@dot.state.wi.us><br>To: <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>'LM Loeffel, Red Hen Publishing' <publisher@redhenpublishing.org><br><br><br><br>Lynn,<br><br>The maps are public information which you may use the map as you wish.<br><br>Ken Cowan<br>Surveying/Mapping Section<br>Bureau of Technical Services<br>Division of Transportation System Development<br>Wisconsin Department of Transportation<br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: LM Loeffel, Red Hen Publishing<br>[mailto:publisher@redhenpublishing.org]<br>Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2008 2:26 PM<br>To: kenneth.cowan@dot.state.wi.us<br>Subject: question about use of WISDOT Map of Washington County<br><br><br>Hello,<br><br>I was looking at the WISDOT Map of Washington County available on your web site.
