We can develop web mapping systems to help you share data, undertake consultations and manage surveys, embedding maps in new or existing websites.
Interactive mapping can be a powerful tool for:
- promoting your work
- sharing information with others
- collecting location specific information from others
- managing surveys spread across a wide area
Web mapping systems can include tools to:
- show and hide different types of information
- zoom in to a specific location or out to a wider area
- search for grid references, places and features
- interrogate mapped items to show more information, including images and web links
Base-mapping provides valuable context, helping others to appreciate the location your data relates to. Options include:
- free map data from OpenStreetMap, Google, Bing or Ordnance Survey
- licensed Ordnance Survey data
- licensed aerial photography
- historic mapping
Tools we use to build web maps include:
- GeoNode - the leading open-source geospatial content management system
- OpenLayers - our preferred open-source map building API for developers
- Leaflet - another leading open-source JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps
- MapServer - an open-source GIS publishing engine
- GeoServer - another open-source server for sharing geospatial data
