Government Freeware for Viewing U.S. Geological Survey Digital Cartographic Data
Overview The dlgv32 and dem3d projects illustrate that Government-sponsored freeware can benefit end users without competing with private software vendors. The viewers allow USGS data customers to preview data at no cost. The software is simple, fast, and very easy to use, even for mapping novices. Because it is freeware, it can be distributed over the Internet and copied without constraint. Because it contains no editing or analysis capabilities, it does not compete with commercial GIS software. Despite limited promotion, the dlgv32 viewer continues to be downloaded at a rate of about 100 copies per day after more than a year of distribution.
