I agree with you that our tax dollars should support free data. However what I've seen so far from the NGA in the public hasn't been that detailed or recent.

I wonder if you could work with NGA to get all of what you need for free so you aren't duplicating efforts? NGA currently has high resolution and recent imagery and an excellent vector basemap for the region. It could be worth a try to contact them and build a partnership during this time of crisis, correct? I wonder if the Army's TEC has updated GeoPDFs already created they could provide you (actually, they do) for free also...maybe worth trying to call Ray Caputo and make a request? We in the non-profit world need to take advantage of what our tax dollars have paid for, correct? Well, then all we need to do is work with the NGA and TEC, correct? They can help us and we can help them...it's a win win situation in my opinion! Good luck! Geospatial Hi,
