I needed to update the TIGER MAP instructions.
Unfortunately, that forum is now closed, and I could not reply to it.
So, I have created this page to include the supplemental
information. Later (when I make the time) I will completely
re-write the TIGER map instructions and continue to supply the
related links below. I hope this helps. *smile*
Regarding the link posted below, there is a typo in the URL.
tiger map... post -
{ Ed }.
Incorrect URL:
:
http://tiger.census.go/cgi-bin/mapgen/.gif?lat=37&lon=-96.75&wid=48&ht=19&iht=350&iwd=550&murl=LOCATION_OF_YOUR_MAP
Correct URL:
http://tiger.census.gov/cgi-bin/mapgen/.gif?lat=37&lon=-96.75&wid=48&ht=19&iht=350&iwd=550&murl=LOCATION_OF_YOUR_MAP
The URL is “census.gov” – not “census.go”
(sorry
about that). *smile*
I have web URL forwarding set up on my website.
http://www.hansmguy.com is
forwarded to
http://hansmguy.tripod.com . I think TIGER has a problem
with translating forwarded URLs. (Maybe, I am just slow... and
cannot figure it out? *smile*) You may have to use the
destination URL.
I use either zip-codes.com,
zipinfo.com,
postalcodeworld.com (Canada), &
ip2geo
(International via IP Address)
to locate latitude and longitude information.
For additional informational, please review:
http://tiger.census.gov/instruct.html and my
TIGER input file:
https://hansmguy.tripod.com/wg/wg_us_zips.txt .
This is the thread that inspired this TIGER Map
Instructions page:
After getting 50 state bingo... by
Sam The Sham Search for "TIGER
Map Starter Post *wink* (m)".
TIGER Map - Initial Hits for 50 State Bingo
(Please click above link to view international hits; 'minus sign'
changes magnification view.)
(Please click on map to view on separate page.)

The above map was generated by the
U.S. Census Bureau and The TIGER Mapping Service.
Good Luck & Happy Georgering!
