Golden Software has adapted the United States Census TIGER files for use as a geocoding data source and as street base maps. The data were converted into a format that can be read in MapViewer.
Some tips on Golden Software street data files:
The street files are based on the 2000 census. Locations created after 2000 are not included.
The accuracy and completeness of the [.STR] files are limited to accuracy and completeness of the Census data.
The TIGER files have not been modified other than to convert the format into one that can be used by MapViewer.
The Golden Software street data files cannot be modified.
Items such as post office boxes and rural route addresses are not included in the TIGER files.

Each file contains one county's street information.
The files are named according to FIPS codes.
