- SharpGIS: Some useful information, even if he belongs to the Borg.
- GeoData.gov: US government GIS clearinghouse
- National Atlas: Includes data for “mapping professionals”. Amateurs, too, I guess. :)
- Standford.edu: Many links to GIS data sites
- Quantum GIS:Qgis is growing into quite a respectable program.

Sound
