Online Mapping

Community Center Online Mapping puts geographic information at your fingertips and available for display anywhere on the website.

Mapping Examples

Online Mapping Features 

You can put links to interactive maps on pages you create, in calendar events, news items and email links.  You can even add information to the maps, so other viewers can view your mapped data.  Integration with Open API mapping (Google Maps and Microsoft), further extends the mapping functionality.

Data Flexibility - Community Center can integrate map data from a variety of sources and formats.  In addition, Community Center can make large data sets (such as orthophotography) easy to access for average users without a lot of computing power.

Thin Client - No plug-in or special software is required to view and work with Community Center maps.  In addition, the amount of data transferred to the client is minimal.

Tool Set - Community Center maps include zoom, pan, measure, area calculation and search tools to allow users to get the most out of map data.

Customization - Community Center users can easily add and annotate map locations.

Multimedia - Pictures and text can be associated with map locations, making maps truly interactive.
