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:

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)".

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