*TNM Data Download Enhancements:* The USGS National Map program is
transitioning all of its GIS data download capabilities to its new TNM
Download client
<http://viewer.nationalmap.gov/basic/?basemap=b5&category=nhd&q=&zoom=4&bbox=-128.93554688,13.06877673,-65.03906250,54.82600800&preview=&avail=&refpoly=8-digit%20HU%20(Subbasin)>
during
the week of February 15, 2016. The new launch page
<http://viewer.nationalmap.gov/launch/> will help users easily find the
variety of resources available to get National Map data, download GIS data,
visualize and analyze data on the web, or access developer tools such as
APIs and map services. Usage of TNM Download Client combined with staged
product files will provide faster, more reliable and larger quantities of
data to the geospatial community. The Download Client has an associated API
available to developers to take advantage in their own applications.
