Copyright agreement
for the download of the topographic base map .E00 files
The IGME 5000 topographic base map contains the following
features: the European coastline, capitals and cities (classified
according to their number of inhabitants), the drainage system in
three classes, and canals, lakes, salt pans and reservoirs. The
most recent representation of topographic features, e.g. national
boundaries and the limits of the Aral Sea are included. For further
detail see Geodetic parameters of the IGME 5000 above.
If you are interested to use the IGME 5000 topographic base map
in a non-commercial way, please sign two copies of this copyright
agreement and send them to Kristine
Asch. You will then be given permission to download

The Preliminary Legend of
the IGME 5000 (Screen view)
It describes the time and petrographical units used on the
draft map so far. However, the database term dictionaries
(still in constant modification) contain more detailed description
of the units and will be retrievable when finished.
