POTHOLES are back. Let your DOT office know where they can find them

POTHOLES are back. Let your DOT office know where they can find them by mapping @ Pothole Plotter http://goo.gl/ujSPf 

The Pothole Plotter allows the public to locate a pothole on their street and with one click enter the location into a live GIS system. The pothole locations and associate information is stored in a GIS system to be distributed by email or text message to the officials that manage this asset. It’s really about building a Public Service Engine where not just pothole issues can be identified but locations like signs down, streetlights out, graffiti, trip hazards, and a host of issues which can be identified by the public.

We encourage the public to visit the application to see how they can use GIS to let the right people know where the potholes are located on their street.

I recently listen to an episode of CBC’s “Spark” on what they called “Crisis Maps” using crowd map technology.

NFLD Tourism Department Project - New way of creating maps quickly

We are designing a GIS Enterprise for the Newfoundland & Labrador Tourism Department. The project began with the re design of the NFLD Road Map. The Road Map has been part of the annual tourism package for all visitors to NFLD since the early 1990's. 

Our design is different because we have built the map around a GIS Enterprise instead of the static CorelDraw version of old. This will allow us to prepare the map for publication to a web mapping application. Also, with the data residing in a GIS we can add multiple themes to the base map to make some cool maps quickly.
