Was listening to a podcast a few weeks weeks ago and they mentioned a web site: davidrumsey.com. He has a whole host of maps. Many of them very cool. I did a fast search for maps of Santa Clara County. Came across a few. If you install the Java Client, you can actually download the maps at a very high resolution. In fact, I downloaded one map at the highest resolution (7 or 8 mb in size) and then plotted it out on our HP5500 at 60 inches in width. It came out great! No pixelation whatsoever!

Tooltips Available in the GeoMedia Suite
Posted by jeffhobbs on June 22, 2007
With one of the recent hotfixes, Intergraph added the ability to add tooltips to legend entries. I hear it was functionality added for the Public Safety piece of Intergraph. Nonetheless, it’s pretty cool.
1) Right click on the legend entry and go to the “Map Window Tooltip” Legend Entry
2) Choose the type of tooltip:
a) None
b) Name – Name of the feature class
c) Attributes – Select one attribute
d) Expression – Build your own expression using functional attributes
In used expression in my case. My expression looked like “”Route Number:” + ” ” + FORMATATTRIBUTE(Input.ROUTE_NUMBER)” which returned this:
Very neat.
