+DavidMac Posted May 21, 2003 Posted May 21, 2003 When trying to view this state's map, I get the following error: Could't load the shapefile: C:inetpubshapefilesusahihi.shp ...Not all who wander are lost... unless the batteries in their GPS die, their maps get ruined by rainwater when their pack leaks, and they find themselves in a laurel thicket. Then, they are probably lost. -DavidMac; (formerly Someonenameddave)
able2ru Posted May 21, 2003 Posted May 21, 2003 most .shp files are Arcview or Arcinfo from ESRI (www.esri.com). They have a free program, called ArcExplorer that will be able to open this file, if it is in ESRI format. The file you listed is on your C drive on your computer, so I could not access it to see if what I have said is true or not. You can also download a huge amount of shape (.shp) files from ESRI, that you can use with this free program and Arcview and other CAD programs that can access .shp files. Able2ru?
+DavidMac Posted May 21, 2003 Author Posted May 21, 2003 Oh, sorry, let me clarify- the state map on the website returns the error. Until it's fixed, you can see for yourself on the state's map page, which is also accessible from the main page of this site. BTW, I have no C drive...I'm on a mac ...Not all who wander are lost... unless the batteries in their GPS die, their maps get ruined by rainwater when their pack leaks, and they find themselves in a laurel thicket.

+Jeremy Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 I don't have a shapefile for Hawaii, so the map won't show up. The new maps (cross your fingers - next couple of weeks) will have Hawaii and everything else. Jeremy Irish Groundspeak - The Language of Location

We can't afford the pricing for Europe. It will be about as good as it is now (not so good). Jeremy Irish Groundspeak - The Language of Location
+MarcB Posted June 11, 2003 Posted June 11, 2003 Ok, thanks [] What features will the new maps have? Clickable caches? Took Log Book, Left Nothing
