Notes:
- This data set is composed of both line and point data. Included are administration boundaries, roads, railways, rivers, and shorelines. Also included are placenames for administrative areas, mountains, peaks rivers, valleys, capes, islands, lakes, swamps, and water boundaries.
- Administrative boundaries and railways were taken from the 1:200 000 Topographic Regional Map series and the other information from the 1:500 000 Topographic District Map series.
- The data comes with display software and format description (in Japanese). Coverage of the entire country requires the purchase of 85 floppy disks. Each disks coverage corresponds to the region bounded by a 1:200 000 Topographic Regional Map.
- Software functions include: display of desired area, color/line/point/etc. manipulation, enlarge, reduce, shift, scroll, rewrite, fullsize display, position, distance, area calculations, creation of user data files, attribute display functions, line/point/placename input, and output.
- Software and data come on either a 1.2 MB diskette (formatted for Japanese DOS) for NEC PC-9801 VX series PCs (Japanese DOS) or over, or 1.44 MB diskettes for PCs running Japanese Windows 3.1.
- There are no restrictions on the use of this data. The only requirement is that you must apply to do so.
