Our clients can choose either Google or ESRI mapping technologies.
Google’s mapping technology allows the display of the map layers and information provided by Google such as streets, freeways and aerial imagery as well as local GIS data layers such as parcels, land use, zoning, incentive areas, business improvement districts, and similar items. An advantage of this option is that the street, highway, and aerial/satellite imagery is included at no cost, which is a benefit if your organization does not already have access to this data. In addition, this option provides access to the Google Earth plugin which allows users of your website to dynamically fly through the geography of your region and Street View which allows users to take a virtual drive down streets. For an example of this mapping technology visit cerc.ctsitefinder.com.
ESRI's mapping is a GIS technology which allows for map analysis and the display of local GIS data layers - especially those that use polygons, such as parcels, land use, zoning, incentive areas, business improvement districts, and similar items. These types of map layers can be used in addition to the typical map layers such as streets, freeways, and water-elements. Local aerial imagery can also be included. This option does not include the Google Earth plugin. For an example of this mapping technology visit http://www.okcedis.com/.
