The U.S. Geological Survey has introduced a new "Digital Map - Beta".

This new digital map is a step toward the next generation of USGS topographic maps.  It is built from data layers of The National Map, which is a synthesis of information from local, State, and Federal partners.

"Digital Map - Beta" will be available on the Web at no cost, in a GeoPDF format.  Free tools allow users to determine coordinates, turn layers on and off, zoom in and out, and print the map image.

You can be among the first to evaluate this new product by visiting the "Digital Map - Beta" web site at http://nationalmap.gov/digital_map/
