Precision hand-digitized from industry standard 1:24,000-scale USGS topographic maps over a period of 20 years, UGA is designed for organizations needing a township, range, and section map of, for example, southern Oklahoma on Thursday and thirty counties of Texas grid on Friday. UGA puts the entire U.S. Land Grid on customers' desktops for access at any time.

UGA is for companies that need the flexibility to create accurate maps anywhere in the United States so they can immediately respond to time critical opportunities.   Instead of trying to track the vintage and the location of "postage-stamp-sized areas" of previously purchased datasets, customers have all of the latest update information for the nation available at their fingertips.

UGA allows users to "cookie cut" an area of interest and then export the data into a variety of popular mapping formats, including ESRI format Shape Files, DXF, GeoGraphix, Petra, MapInfo, and SMT Kingdom. In addition, the data can be projected into a variety of coordinate systems. UGA is also compatible with high-end well data and locations from IHS Energy.

UGA is a subscription product. For only $750 per month (effective 10/1/08) with a two-year commitment, billed annually, clients can access more than 70,000 townships in the public land survey states, 307,000 abstracts in the Texas Land Survey and Gulf of Mexico State and Federal Waters. WhiteStar includes regular quarterly updates as part of the UGA product, eliminating costly data management problems.
