They're one of the few federally mandated jurisdictional areas, and the Wetlands Interactive Mapper provides an opportunity for people to see where wetlands are at the local level. FWS created NWIC in 1977 to classify and map America's remaining wetland resources. The complete seamless dataset soon will be available, allowing customers to view and browse the complete map and select specific areas of interest. As a result, Geography Network users now can browse, download or use GDT's Dynamap Streets and Address database and DTN Weather Services' GIS-based weather data. Users then download the maps directly to their desktops for use in a variety of GIS, computer- aided design and mapping applications.
Users mark locations and then name and link the map or chart to a Web site of their choice.
The request aims to extend the interfaces in the OpenGIS Simple Features Implementation Specification, providing a variety of software systems with an open, shared framework for describing features modeled with points, lines and polygons. Responses to the request as well as financial commitments from sponsor organizations will help determine focus areas that are undertaken as part of this initiative, which is scheduled to commence in September 2001.
