Importing Map and Geospatial Data

The Mapping Toolbox supports a wide range of standard GIS and geospatial formats, as well as specific data products and simple ad-hoc data files. You can work with vector map data as simple coordinate vectors (X-Y or latitude-longitude) or data structures that include nonspatial properties and attributes. The toolbox supports georeferenced imagery and other raster data grids, including orthoimagery, satellite swath data, digital terrain elevation models, and various global data grids.

Supported file formats and data products include:

• Standard file formats, such as ESRI shapefiles, GeoTIFF, Arc ASCII Grid, worldfiles, and SDTS raster profile
• Gridded terrain and bathymetry data, such as USGS DEM, NIMA DTED, and GTOPO30
• Vector map products, such as VMAP0, DCW, TIGER, and GSHHS
• Miscellaneous routines to access selected data products
