Where do I find the External Data files for the Mapping Toolbox?

I would like to know where I can find examples of geospatial data files to use with the Mapping Toolbox, including data used in various examples in the Mapping Toolbox User's Guide, Reference Pages, and demos.

1. The mapdemos directory that installs with the Mapping Toolbox is a good place to start. To find this directory in MATLAB, use the command:

cd(fullfile(matlabroot,'toolbox','map','mapdemos'))

To obtain a description of the sample files in the mapdemos directory, use the command:

   help mapdemos

2. There is much geospatial data available through the Internet. See the following Tech Note 2101 for many of these references:
