EVS-Islands: Comparison - Navteq River vs. EVS River

The above map shows some of my completed island mapping projects. Each icon contains the name of the primary island associated with the project and a link to the post. Once all of my projects are posted, the map will be covered with icons. To productively use the map, zoom into a region of interest. Then select an icon.

Each of my maps is constructed of numerous layers of information. All of the layers are vector files. I will make these files available upon request. You are free to use them with certain restrictions - 1) Don't sell them. You can use them on research projects, post them to your website or things of that nature. If you aren't sure about the use of my maps, drop me a line and we can discuss your idea. 2) Give me credit when you use my vectors or images of my maps. Credit them to Peter Minton @ EVS-Islands

If I have the island vector file(s) and based upon your need, I will make them available. Images of my maps are yours to download and use, with the above restrictions applicable. Enjoy!

Comparison - Navteq River vs. EVS River

Ili River KZ - A Comparison of Navteq vs. EVS

I mentioned in previous posts that the best global river shorelines that I have encountered are Navteq shorelines. It looks like they might have used Landsat imagery to create their river shorelines. If someone associated with these river creations wishes to comment, go for it. The rivers are good, but they do not compare to EVS precision. My river shorelines and island details are excellent and extremely precise compared to Navteq's efforts. See for yourself.
