    Data source

    Data structure should be a line network which does not need topology. However lines do have to connect ("snap").

    See a list of known sources here

    You are not limited to road networks: RW Net can also be used for pipelines, telecommunication, rivers, etc.

    RW Net 4 works perfectly together with many GIS packages:
    QGIS, ArcGIS, MapWinGIS, MapXtreme, MapObjects, CartoVCL, GeoObjects ...
