What file shows all the road networks of the U.S.?

Tiger file

UAS

Unmanned Aircraft System-piloted from ground

Junction

Used for nodes (or places where edges come together)

What is special about a GEOpdf file?

You can take off some details shown on a map if you want to look at a specific item of it

standard deviation

a computed measure of how much scores vary around the mean score

quantile

a data classification method that attempts to place an equal number of data values in each class

equal interval

a data classification method that selects class break levels by taking the total span of values and dividing by the number of desired classes

What does a map template provide?

a pre-arranged way of placing elements on a map

nadir

area directly below photo

Dijkstra's algorithm

calculates shortest path between a origin node and other destination nodes

CIR photo

color infrared photo- a photo where infrared reflection is shown in shades of red, red reflection is shown in shades of green, and green reflection is shown in shades of blue

Natural Breaks

data classification method that selects class break levels by finding spaces

DPI

dots per inch (coarse or sharp)

Tiger/line files

file produced by the census bureau that contains other items corresponding to line segments
