USGS website
(OP)
Hello,
I have used the USGS website for a number of years. It has been very helpful in determining S1 and Ss values to approximate for international locations. Recently they have revamped the website and it doesn't give values for a fraction of the locations that it used to. Am I using this thing wrong or has this been other people's experience as well? Today I was interested in a site in Australia but there isn't one known point there per this tool.

Doesn't the Australian government have a similar agency?
I honestly do not want my Federal Tax Dollars supporting other countries, sorry.

TDIengineer - I'm not a big fan of government spending but this is a very helpful tool for us engineers who ship buildings internationally. If USGS didn't provide this service it would be a lot harder to get this information.
