While yes, the tiger database (or better it's content) is interesting, I
don't think that it can be counted as a "complex database". Just that
something is big doesn't mean that.

OT:

Just out of curiosity, do you plan more on this? I was playing around
with the 2000 version a while back, but the Garmin GPS units
unfortunately use a proprietary map format, so one cannot generate his
own detail maps for download. The waypoint and route data protocol is
well known though.
