Marietta will use MapCiti to make information on the City's infrastructure, planning and zoning, City-owned utilities, and police and fire departments easily available to citizens. Reducing Labor Costs MapCiti allows municipalities to reduce the time-consuming practice of repeatedly printing and manually distributing municipal maps. Instead, citizens can use the Internet to view and print the maps they want. In addition, MapCiti lets its subscribers continually update data, instantaneously creating updated maps, as well as manipulate information to offer users different data combinations-a single map showing property lines and zoning, for example.
Users can pan and zoom in on maps as well as query map features of interest.
We had developed an in-house Web application, but it just did not provide the flexibility we needed. MapCiti, on the other hand, did. Also, I had purchased software to Web-enable our GIS on our own but realized it was more complicated than anticipated, and it was hard to find the time to learn the new technology. MapCiti is an efficient means of providing routine maps on a continuous basis. Now, both my staff and the general public have immediate access to the information they need and the ability to view and print maps.
