What is Interactive Mapping?
The interactive mapping applications available on our web site provide a relatively easy way for you to directly view our GIS data without being a GIS expert. These applications draw data from our GIS databases and present it to you in a web browser interface. The complexity of the data means that a special web browser format is needed (see browser requirements). It may take some time for you to learn how to use the tools and manipulate the data. The on-line help screens and tools should help you get started.
