+cjf Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Since Saturday morning (9/30/06) I've been trying to download the San Luis Obispo County, California, yearly archived datasheet from the NGS website. The message I get when I select download is "SORRY - Currently no data exists for |CA|079|SAN LUIS OBISPO." I checked a county I'd downloaded before, and that one is also currently non-existent. I'm leaving this Friday for a Morro Bay weekend and would love to have all the datasheet information in GSAK and my PDA. Any suggestions or help the forum members can provide will be greatly appreciated. Colleen Quote Link to comment
mloser Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Perhaps the "big quake" finally hit and California has slid into the Pacific Ocean, never to be seen, or surveyed, again. No need in keeping the archives after that you know! Quote Link to comment
ArtMan Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I just successfully downloaded a Virginia county. Have you tried any other California counties? Perhaps you should contact NGS <ngs.infocenter@noaa.gov> about this issue. Good luck, -ArtMan- Quote Link to comment

No need in keeping the archives after that you know! I don't think we slid off (yet) - there's no water in my backyard! Have you tried any other California counties? Perhaps you should contact NGS <ngs.infocenter@noaa.gov> about this issue. I tried Santa Clara and San Francisco - both had the same "Sorry no data exists" reply (and I know Santa Clara is not in the drink because that's where I am). I also sent an email to the address provided. Thank you! Colleen Quote Link to comment
+Klemmer Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I had no problem with about 6 or 7 SoCal counties maybe 2 months ago, so something happened since then. My home county (Orange) is also DOA. Some sort of website / database issue there at NGS. I haven't downloaded any that far north previously, sorry. I have all the SoCal ones from about 2 months ago.

+cjf Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 The rest of the story.......... I checked my email just before I left for my weekend trip. Lo and behold, there was an email from the National Geodetic Survey! There was my initial email in the chain which was forwarded to a computer specialist with a message "Please help this customer!" (Hooray! I'm finally someone's customer!) The email to me stated that they had extracted all the data for California and it was now available. I was able to quickly download the information and take it with me in GSAK and my PDA. I feel so special. Colleen Quote Link to comment
