TiVec  Converter

TiVec, from Tiger Vector Processor, is a valuable tool for the GIS technician and USA mapper.  It is a data management tool that allows the user to process Tiger Line files and convert them to MID/MIF, SHP/DBF, or TXF/TDB file sets for use with most of GIS and Mapping environments.  (TXF/TDB is the TRIUS native file format used with the the original SmpMapX GIS/Mapping Tool, now distributed by Undertow Software under the name MapTivate).  Owners of v1.2 may download and install v1.3 at no charge!

One or more State or County files can be converted, various features can be combined, selected feature attributes may be selected, a map projection may be specified, and more...

An evaluation copy, that works on Massachusetts, Maine and Tennessee Tiger data files, *only*, may be freely downloaded from the TRIUS web site, (click here to download your free evaluation copy or here to order your copy).  We are certain that once you try it, you'll agree it's an irreplaceable tool.  If you don't  already have the 2000 TIGER data files (TiVec will only work with the 2000 Tiger Data files) for the above states, you can download some of them here (MA, ME, TN).
