Map data for large countries may be split into smaller regions. This split may be made for either of the following reasons:

Legacy Platform Support - to retain compatibility with FAT32 filesystems, GBFS files cannot exceed 4 gigabytes in size. If a country contains too much information to fit within this limit, it will be split into two smaller files.
Reduced Storage Requirements - For platforms where storage is limited, deploying a smaller GBFS file containing only local data can be more efficient.

Currently, we offer the United States in two different GBFS sets; USA East/USA West, for full USA coverage, and USA Regions, for storage-space efficient deployment in specific geographic areas.

Note
If you are using the US map data files for 17Q2 (second quarter of 2017) or 17Q3 (third quarter of 2017) to create the full USA map, note the following: If you have GeoBase version 4.39 or later, you may use either the two data files USAWest and USAEast, or the regional data files listed under "USA Regions" below. If you have a GeoBase version prior to 4.39, you may use USAWest, but instead of USAEast you must use the regional data files GreatLakes, SouthEast, and NorthEast. You may also use the regional data files instead of USAWest. The following GBFS files and data versions require a GeoBase version of 4.39 or later: Germany - 17Q4 or later Spain - 17Q4 or later SouthBrazil - 17Q4 or later NorthBrazil - 17Q4 or later Italy - 17Q4 or later France - 17Q4 or later EastUSA - 17Q2 or later WestUSA - 17Q4 or later USASouthEast - 17Q4 or later

West USA & East USA

These two GBFS files are designed to be used together in a single repository to provide full USA coverage. This is ideal for deployments where storage space is not restricted, such as desktop or server deployment.

Dataset Name	States/Territories
USAWest	Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, Hawaii, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, North & South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas.
USAEast	Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Louisiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, District of Columbia, Virginia, North & South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands

USA Regions

These GBFS files are designed for deployment individually, to provide local geographical coverage in environments where storage space is at a premium. If you require full USA coverage, we recommend using the West USA/East USA GBFS files.
