Data Set Credit: The data set was compiled by American Digital Cartography, Inc. Edgematching the database with the US highway network and new features were added by members of the Geographic Information Systems Laboratory, Pellissippi Research Institute, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Data Quality Information Attribute Accuracy Attribute Accuracy Report: Logical Consistency Report: Completeness Report: Positional Accuracy Horizontal Positional Accuracy Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report: The elements of the Canadian highway database have been tested by visual comparison with 1:1,000,000 Digital Chart of the World. Where new roads have been added which were not in the source database, link alignments have been digitized or converted from digital sources acquired from the Digital Chart of the World with a map scale of at least 1:1,000,000.

The BTS standard format consists of a linked set of ASCII fixed record length files. File formats and data dictionary for the BTS standard format are described in the documents, "format.txt" and "datadict.txt". Copies of these documents are distributed on each North American Transportation Atlas CD-ROM in the "docs" directory. File Decompression Technique: No compression applied. However, if using digital transfer online option, note access instructions. Transfer Size: 3.5 megabytes Digital Transfer Option Online Option Computer Contact Information Network Address Network Resource Name: www.bts.gov/gis/ntatlas/can.html Access Instructions: Anyone with access to the Internet World Wide Web may connect to the BTS server. To access a specific database, go to the address listed above in the Network Resource Name. The visitor can create a "package" of the data set for download. The "package" can be in one of the following formats: .zip - an MS-DOS zip archive; .tgz - a gzip-ed unix tar archive; and .tar - a unix tar archive. Once the package is prepared, the visitor can download the package to their host computer.
