HurricaneMapping is neither a feature or image map service, but rather distributes data directly to your desktop in the form of ZIPPED file packages. A single zipped storm advisory package contains SHP, SHX, and DBF files for many map layers. Our Shapefile Manager utility will automate the download and unzipping process, plus help you monitor and preview storm tracks. This means quick delivery of the data you need and allows you a head start on time-critical briefings and presentations.
