CD Content ----------------- This CD-ROM contains digital data files that were assembled or created from the 2002 Glenlyon component of the Targeted Geoscience Initiative (TGI) project. It includes GIS spatial data for the Glenlyon area bedrock and surficial geology with generalized topography, georeferenced raster images (geophysics and satellite), interactive map projects to allow viewing and querying of the spatial data using a variety of common GIS software. Databases of field observations (bedrock and surficial geology), related published maps, and a collection of relevant published reports from the Yukon Exploration and Geology (YEG) series are also included. All data is provided in formats easily explored using widely available free software, which is also found on the CD. GIS data is provided in shapefile format which can be easily viewed using ESRI’s ArcExplorer free GIS software (installation files are included on this CD). Shapefiles can be viewed or imported in other more advanced commercial GIS products (ArcView 3.x, ArcMap 8.x or Mapinfo). MapInfo tables have also been included. Installation of ArcExplorer (or ownership of a licensed version of one of the more advanced GIS products listed above) is required to view the interactive maps on this CD. Installation of Acrobat Reader (or ownership of a licensed version) is also required to view the documentation and published maps and reports (Adobe Acrobat Reader 5 freeware is included on this CD). Microsoft Access or Excel can be used to view the field data tables, although the same data can also be examined through the interactive maps. The projection of all spatial data contained on this CD is the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system, NAD 83 datum, Zone 8. The CD runs on Windows 95 platforms and higher, and has been tested with Windows 98, 2000, NT and XP. Performance times for use of the interactive maps will depend on individual hardware componentry and memory availability. It is therefore recommended that users copy all data onto a local hard drive for greater speed in accessing and displaying the spatial data. Main Navigation Window ----------------------------------- There is an Autoplay that will run for the CD in Microsoft Windows 95 and above. Inserting the CD into your CD-ROM drive will automatically launch the main navigation window. If this window does not start up, you can manually open the main navigation screen by clicking on GlenlyonCD.exe in the root directory of your CD drive. Directory Structure --------------------------- The CD-ROM contains data in four main subdirectories in the root directory: \data All GIS spatial data, databases, images and photos. \publications All published maps and reports in Adobe Acrobat Reader format. \software Free ArcExplorer installation files for viewing interactive maps, and Adobe Acrobat Reader installation files for viewing published maps and reports. A free hyperlinking extension for ArcView 3.x to enable opening of photos and reports interactively within ArcView is also included. Finally, a copy of GeoFIELD, the Yukon Geology Program’s Access field database is also included. GeoFIELD can be used to manage and store field data, as well as plot stations and structural symbols interactively in AutoCAD Map. Documentation ---------------------- All documentation is provided in the root directory in Adobe Acrobat Reader format (CD_manual.pdf), complete with hyperlinks to external files and websites.

Contact Information ---------------------------- Questions, suggestions and comments regarding this CD-ROM can be addressed to any of the following Yukon Geology Program staff: Panya Lipovsky Tel: (867) 667-8520 E-mail: Panya.Lipovsky@gov.yk.ca or Maurice Colpron Tel: (867) 667-8235 E-mail: Maurice.Colpron@gov.yk.ca Known Issues with CD -------------------------------- ARCEXPLORER SCALE: The ArcExplorer scale written above the scale bar is not correct. The scale bar itself, and the ratio scale to the left of the scale bar are correct for the extent shown on your screen. When a map is printed from ArcExplorer, the scale bar depicted on the page is also incorrect. These are bugs within ArcExplorer. ARCVIEW 3.x: Upon opening an ArcView 3.x project, an error message asking "Where is ..AV_GIS30\arcview\ext32\hotlinkapi.avx?" will be displayed. This is a hotlinking extension to view photos and minfile summaries from within ArcView. To ignore the message, click "Cancel" and the project will continue to open without the hotlinking capability. Do not attempt to navigate to the file and proceed by clicking "OK" or you will be asked to navigate to every theme in the project. To permanently eliminate the error message and make full use of ArcView's hotlinking capability, simply copy the file "..\software\arcview_ext\hotlinkapi.avx" (16 kb) into the ...AV_GIS30\arcview\ext32 folder on your harddrive. PHOTO GALLERY: Some photos may appear in duplicate in some categories of the Photo Gallery. This is due to the association of the photo to more than one map unit.
