Data Access Information
Current release is MapVUE6 2003
Wake County Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping parcel data is now available on compact disc (CD) in MetaMAP CD format. This allows the use of the Wake County mapping data on an ordinary PC, which previously could only be accessed on expensive workstations by trained users. Convenient access to this data is extremely valuable to the business community and government agencies in the Wake County area. Very few other communities in the world have the tools for widespread access of the individual user to the complete GIS of their local government, at a reasonable cost.
The MetaMAP format includes the graphic information (the digital map), as well as the attached non-graphic data (parcel data, etc.). All the data is on one CD, which is available from the MetaMAP, Inc. System requirements are no more than Windows requires, except that a CD-ROM drive is needed to access the data. All MetaMAP products run on Windows 9x, Windows Me, and Windows NT/2000/XP. MetaMAP or MetaVUE software will take approximately 10MB of hard drive space.
MetaMAP, Inc. offers three Windows-based PC software products which will directly access the Wake County data on the CD. A detailed chart of some of the features of the three products can be found listed below.
