Summary
(Adapted from GEODE web page.)

GEODE (Geo-Data Explorer) is a free service offered by the U.S. Geological
Survey (USGS) on the Internet at http://geode.usgs.gov/. It provides digital
geographically referenced data to the desktop computers of any user, including
policymakers, land and resource managers, educators, industries, and private
citizens. The ... ultimate goal of GEODE is to provide diverse users a gateway
(data portal) that will supply real-time data and analysis over the Internet
without the need for special hardware, software, and training.

GEODE allows the user to retrieve, display, and manipulate multiple types of
information, such as satellite images, geologic maps, graphics, live camera
feed, three-dimensional images, and spreadsheet data. The available data
coverages (see box) are dynamic, as they are frequently updated; some datasets
are international in scope, and some are specific to the United States. Users
can combine these datasets to design their own maps and digital products.
