First up in our parade of geo data superstars are formats like Shapefile (SHP), the old faithful of the geo world. But you'll need a complete set of three files that are mandatory to make up a shapefile. The three required files are: .SHP for geometry, .SHX is the shape index position and .DBF is the attribute data.
