Digital Data Tabular Files

Tabular files typically list street related information (such as street name) in a flat file which is space or comma delimited, suitable for importing into a database application. Several standard tabular file formats are available.

Street Block Indexes

Street Name Indexes are the digital version of the street indexes printed in the back of every Thomas Guide street map book. Every street listed in the Thomas Guide is included in the Street Name Indexes. Each record includes street name, city/community, and Thomas Bros. Maps Page and Grid™ . Some counties also include street block addresses and ZIP Codes. Please see the particular Thomas Guide of interest to see which data elements are included in the file.

Dispatch Files

Thomas Bros. Maps offers high quality dispatch files, used in public safety, transportation, and routing applications. Dispatch Files include street segment data (all the data included in Thomas Bros. Maps Standard Geofile product, along with both low and high X/Y coordinates), and low/high cross street names.

Common Place Files

Common Place Files are the Points of Interest index published in every Thomas Guide. In counties which have been converted to Thomas Bros. Maps Digital Mapping System, the records also include an X/Y earth coordinate.
