I have been working in GIS full time for over 30 years, so naturally I was excited about this release. Then I started looking at the data. It's barely usable, if at all. This is also the consensus among my GIS professional network.
Can you say more about what it's barely usable? I don't know much about GIS and thought this seemed like a cool thing. Thanks.
