GIS Map Room on the Net
Montgomery County, MD
Population: 757,027
Program Year: 1999
Abstract:
An intranet-based "GIS Map Room on the Net" has been constructed to serve all the county departments that are linked to the GIS LAN. Users enjoy instant access to a rich collection of base maps and department-specific maps without the traditional calling around to identify the availability of maps, ordering the composition of custom maps, making trips to pick up maps, and the attendant long delays. Users can now access a wide selection of maps via ubiquitous web browsers. The various map pages were composed using the ArcView GIS and posted to the county intranet using the ArcView GIS Internet Map Server extension. The map pages are organized by departments and, within department, by functional areas. The imbedded Java applets allow map zoom in/zoom out and pan. They also provide attribute queries for the graphic features displayed/selected.
