<div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br></div> </div>Hello Steve,<br><br>I learned about your mapping project yesterday. 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" target="_blank">http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/travel/maps/county.htm</a><br>
<br>This page talks about how to get digital data:<br><a href="http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/business/publications/mapdata.htm" target="_blank">http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/business/publications/mapdata.htm</a><br><br>I hope this helps with your project. If I ever get a GPS device I'd love to help more!<br>
