Mapping resources for [[Virginia]]
===State-wide Resources===
====VDOT Functional Classification====
:[http://www.virginiadot.org/projects/fxn_class/maps.asp Functional Highway Maps] have been compiled by VDOT for all areas of Virginia. They represent the official road classifications based on current and projected traffic levels, and are a very useful resource to help get Waze road types sorted out consistently across the state.
:Virginia updates the road classifications every 10 years and the next update will be published in 2015.  The proposed functional classifications are available via an interactive map that can be found [http://gis3.rbf.com/vdot/ here] (requires Silverlight).  The updates have been conditionally approved and should be used for setting road type in WME. 
:Consult the [[Road Types (USA)]] page for further guidance on how to type based on functional class and road signage. Note, however, that where that page says that "signed, numbered state highways" must be designated at least as Minor Highway type, in Virginia that applies only to ''primary'' state highways. See [[Virginia#Road type guidance]] for more detail.<br>
<br><center><b>Functional Highway Maps Classification Suggestions</b></center>
[[File:VA_Road_Classification_proposed.gif|center]]
:Rural farm and logging roads that are never open to the public should be marked as Private Road type to prevent routing.  Most should be left off the map unless they serve multiple residences or residences out of sight of the main road.  The Dirt Road/4x4 Trail designation should be reserved for public (state/locality maintained) dirt roads and Forest Service roads, etc, that a user may actually traverse freely during at least part of the year.
====Other Virginia Statewide Resources====
*[http://gismaps.virginia.gov/arcgis2/rest/services/VBMP2006_2007/MapServer?f=jsapi 2006/7 Virginia Base Mapping Program data] 1' resolution, leaf off, whole state coverage
*[http://www.aaroads.com/guide.php?page=gatewayva AARoads Virginia] Contains pictures of most BGS on highways as well as other ground level imagery.
===Regional Resources===
*[http://gismaps.virginia.gov/arcgis2/rest/services/VBMP2011/VBMP2011_WGS/MapServer?f=jsapi 2011 Virginia Base Mapping data] 1' resolution, leaf off, coverage of NoVA, Richmond and Tidewater areas
*[http://www.vita.virginia.gov/isp/default.aspx?id=8464 Virgina.gov] has a comprehensive list of local government GIS activities. The Virginia.gov site includes some of the links below as well as indicating when there is no government GIS site for a county or area.
===Resources by City/County===
===== Arlington County =====
Arlington County GIS
* [http://gis.arlingtonva.us/GIS/gis_acmap.asp Interactive Maps]
* [http://gis.arlingtonva.us/gallery/map.html?webmap=b82cc2905d47402fae2a06c882eba917 Aerial Photos] This is aerial imagery with streets labelled.
* [http://gis.arlingtonva.us/gallery/map.html?webmap=700cf717476d403bb24699688170d17e Real Estate Map] This is a parcel map with addresses identified.

=====Chesterfield County=====
*[http://citizengis.chesterfield.gov/ Chesterfield County GIS]
=====City of Fairfax=====
*[http://cofgis.fairfaxva.gov/fairfax/ City of Fairfax GIS] Only includes the area within the city limits.  See Fairfax County below for the surrounding area.

=====City of Suffolk=====
*[http://www.suffolkva.us/gis/disclaimer/ Suffolk GIS] Includes a "YourMap" tool, which is a bit slow but includes very detailed information.  However, recommend considering the OrthoPhotography link first.  It's faster, and will still display full parcel data with street names and house numbers.  OrthoPhotography will often work fine when YourMap won't even load.
=====Fairfax County=====
*[http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/gis/DMV/Default.aspx Fairfax County GIS]  Excludes CIty of Fairfax (See above).
=====Isle of Wight County=====
*[http://isleofwight.interactivegis.com/ Isle of Wight County GIS] Includes street numbers, road names, and all property data.
=====Loudoun County=====
*[http://logis.loudoun.gov/weblogis/ Loudoun County Mapping GIS]
**To show street addresses, check "LandRecords"; Address Points, Road Centerline, and Parcel Boundaries underneath LandRecords are useful.
**To show Census Designated Places, check "Planning" and then underneath check "Census 2010 - CDP"
**If you are looking to make sure all schools are landmarked in your area, you can find them by checking "Schools" and then "School Sites".
**"BaseLayers" should be checked by default.
=====Prince William County=====
*[http://gisweb.pwcgov.org/webapps/CountyMapper/ Prince William County GIS]
=====Spotsylvania County=====
