ESRI ArcGIS ( Arc - GIS ) shapefiles are the industry standard and work with most all GIS programs including ESRI ArcView, ArcExplorer, ArcGIS, and Maptitude, Mapinfo, Manifold, Mapwindow, Mapguide and other free and open source software applications. Each shapefile set includes: roads, buildings, natural features, places, points of interest, railways, and waterways.
If you are new to GIS and shapefiles and want to learn more about cartography and digital geography, check this brief introduction. Also, you can use our free Learn2Map GIS Tutorial & Atlas and included free software to create your own GIS projects viewing and combining these and other free ArcGIS shapefiles.
