The CD-ROM is a complete GIS spatial database from which a variety of thematic geological maps can be created for viewing on a computer monitor, for plotting, and for saving in digital format for conversion into selected graphics programs. The CD-ROM also provides digital versions of these maps, in various formats including Arc-Info coverages, Arc-Info export format (*.E00), shapefile format (*.SHP), and AutoCAD Drawing Interchange File format (*.DXF). In addition Postscript format (*.PS) files of the Open-File maps are also included.

This CD-ROM also includes a limited edition of SurView, a viewing application for Microsoft Windows, developed at the Geological Survey of Canada and originally released as GSC Open File 2661. SurView can display, print, and query the *.SHP files. This provides an opportunity for those without specialized GIS software to delve into the realm of digital geoscience data and explore the Circum-North Pacific maps on their own PC.
