ESRI Data and Maps

ESRI Data & Maps 9.3 Media Kit contains many types of map data at many scales of geography, and the entire dataset can be read directly from the five DVDs in the media kit.  The Data & Maps and StreetMap North America DVD contains the StreetMap dataset as well as the Data & Maps vector data. The other four DVDs include all of the elevation and image datasets including the 90-meter Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) Global Digital Elevation Model with all of the void areas filled, other worldwide elevation and image datasets and regional imagery and raster data for: a) North and South America, b) Europe and Africa, and c) Asia and Australia. In addition, all five DVDs contain the Data & Maps HTML-based Help system.  Extensive metadata is included with each dataset.
