Update: Columbiana County Ohio Drops TIGER Maps for 911

Update 7/24: An article in today’s SalemNews.net by the same reporter includes: “The NAVTEQ maps will cost $7,875 for an annual subscription.” The original article cited below still includes the $77,875 value which per comments below is incorrect.

I was surprised to see the county was using what are refered to as Tiger data for E-911. In testing they were not found to be very good. Further, the company that provided them (not named in a Review article) was not responsive enough. Thus, the county will move NAVTEQ data. Cost:

The annual map subscription will cost $77,875 with quarterly updates. The cost to import the maps had not been determined at the time of the meeting.

The plan is to move to the NAVTEQ data and eventually to street centerline data currently under development.
