INTRODUCTION
MAP IDENTIFYING INFORMATION Title
Series This CD-ROM contains Canadian Geoscience Map 12, produced as part of the Targeted Geoscience Initiative III (TGI3) Project.
Maps in the Canadian Geoscience Map publication series are subject to two independent peer reviews of the scientific content, one independent editorial review and one independent technical review.
Originator
MAP VIEWING FILES The spatial geological data may be viewed using the Portable Map File (PMF) provided on the CD-ROM. A Portable Document File (PDF) of the map is also included. The PDF version presents only a subset of the overall map data, selected to reduce clutter when plotted, but the complete map data are contained in the spatial data files.
The PDF File The PDF of the printable map is file CGM_0012.pdf, which may be viewed using Adobe Reader. The most recent version of Adobe Reader and the correct version for your system may be downloaded from www.adobe.com.
The PDF map file is contained in the CD-ROM folder DOC\PDF\CGM_0012.pdf.
The PMF File The geoscientific information is organized thematically with an expanded set of attributes for all geological features in the spatial data. The PMF provides a demonstration of the suitability of the data for viewing, querying and analysis in a Geographic Information System (GIS).
The GIS map may be viewed digitally using ArcReader. ArcReader is free and can be installed from http://www.esri.com/. To view the GIS map see the procedures outlined in the Readme.rtf file.
The PMF file is contained in the CD-ROM folder DATA\PMF\PMF\CGM_0012.pmf GEODETIC INFORMATION The GIS
data are provided as follows: Vertical datum for GPS locations: WGS84
The viewing files (PMF and PDF) are provided as follows: Map projection: Universal
Transverse Mercator Zone 11U Vertical datum for GPS locations: WGS84
Scale The publication scale of the PDF map is 1:50 000. The feature selection and ground distance resolution of the GIS data are 1:50 000 map-scale equivalent.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
A text or hypertext document viewer and a Mac computer or PC with Windows XP or more recent Windows version, web browser and CD-ROM drive are required to access the documentation. AdobeReader is required to view the PDF file and Windows XP or a later version along with ArcReader is required to view the PMF file. |
