### Finding map data

First, you'll need some data. Mapnik [can currently read](http://mapnik.org/faq/) ESRI Shapefiles, TIFF image files, and can query the PostGIS spatial database and [sql server database](https://github.com/gaspardle/mapnik-mssql). It can also read all OGR and GDAL supported vector and raster datasets.
