TIGER (Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing) files are a digital
database of geographic features including roads, railroads, rivers, lakes, political
boundaries, etc. which cover the entire United States. The database contains information
about these features such as their location (in latitude and longitude), the name, the type
of feature, address ranges for most streets, the geographic relationship to other features,
and other related information. They are the public product created from the Census
Bureau’s TIGER database of geographic information.
The TIGER data may be downloaded in compressed format for a selected county or data
layer. TIGER data must be downloaded and imported into JDOffice to be used in with the
farm maps.
For complete instructions on downloading TIGER data from the internet, then viewing that
data in JDOffice, refer to page 330.
Show TIGER Info
Think of this check box as the on/off switch for viewing TIGER data; unless it is checked,
you will not be able to view the data on your farm map - even though you have imported it
into JDOffice.
Show Names
Street names are part of the TIGER data. If you want the street names to appear, check
this box. If you are not interested in this amount of detail, and would only like to have the
physical features (roads, boundaries, etc.) visible, uncheck the box.
If you would like to see the names, you need to define how large you would like the type
font. This size is measured in points (for example, this type is 11 points).
