Geographic databases for Egyptian cities

This press release is distinctly off the straight and narrow subject of Egyptology, but I thought that it might be of interest to some visitors: "LeadDog Consulting, LLC today announced the release of geographic databases of city streets for the Egyptian cities: Cairo, Alexandria, BaniSuef, Fayed, Fayoum, Minya, Hurgada, Sharm Shick, Arish, and Sohag to support asset-tracking, government, and commercial GIS applications. Designed to help companies track their assets and provide accurate base level mapping, LeadDog's product provides numerous vector layers and attributes such as:- Streets at 1:10,000 scale- Street names - Street classifications- Extensive Points of Interest (government ministry offices, banks, hotels, etc…) - Park, Water, and Landmark polygons. Egypt City Streets are available in all major GIS formats. An Egypt Major Roads and Highways product is available at a 1:250,000 scale.
