Hi, Moe,

USAPhotoMaps (http://www.jdmcox.com/) is a free utility that downloads image tiles from Microsoft's Terraserver that you can then display in a tile layer. You can also pull down a lot of information from USGS, NGA and NOAA, as well.

If you don't need a local copy of the data, maybe you can look into using the Web Mapping Service (WMS). Given a URL to a WMS Server, your application retrieves maps from existing map databases.

Chris

Hello everyone!

Is there any open source US/world map data to use with OpenMap?

Thanks,
Moe
