[comp.windows.x] looking for a map program

tima@bcs800.UUCP (Tim Addington) (11/15/90)

I am developing a program which needs to display a map of a state or city
given a set of coordinates.  What I am looking for is the maps.

What is available in the way of map images which can be displayed in X.

I have an xwd style topo map of San Francisco.  If you can tell me what kind
of maps you need, maybe I can ask some questions.  I'm only a programmer,
but I do work here at the survey.

I'm actually not aware of any map dat available through FTP, but I hope
to be able to ask some people in the mapping department tomorrow if anything
is available.  I work in seismology, so I really don't know (yet).
