Search for MKL KMZ data using Google Search... no problem
A tip... if you'd like to locate some KMLs for viewing in Google Earth there's a very simple way to search ALL the KMLs available onn the web (they are simple text files remember). Using Google Search simply type in the following string to search for a KML for Vancouver... filetype:kmz vancouver - notice the vat number of results.. you can refine your search or add even more detail if you'd like better results.

A heads up that I've recently added about 1400 more GIS resources to be indexed in this very useful GIS focused search utility built using Google tools. Check out the GISuser Geo Search Engine for some very fine results if your searching for free GIS data, GIS jobs, and other geospatial technology resources. More than 4400 hand-picked sites indexed to date.

Best price guarantee on Free GIS Data... LOL
Sometimes I need to just sit back and laugh, particularly when i see statements like this one from "data repositories" (aka. data whores) who re-sell free data... State Data Bundles including DRG, DEM, NWI, DLG, & DOQ bundles quickly and conveniently delivered to you within a day or two on CD-ROM... Found a lower price? Call us and we'll beat em! Well, how about this for someone else - how about FREE! See this fine resource for pretty much everything you need for basemap data in the US - http://seamless.usgs.gov/. Oh, there's also http://datagateway.nrcs.usda.gov/GatewayHome.html
http://glovis.usgs.gov/and then there's http://libremap.org/data/

ASTER data in .tif format
Here's a reminder about a great source for Free, ASTER data... FREE ASTER L1A/L1B images are available in .tif format at the the GLCF ASTER L1A L1B website. Grab it at ftp://ftp.glcf.umiacs.umd.edu/glcf/ASTER/ - for a nice tutorial on working with these data see http://www.terrainmap.com/rm24.html. Finally, another source to consider is www.orthocoverage.com who are boaasting free ASTER data.
