New Online GIS Portal Now Available

(http://canterburymaps.govt.nz/)

Highlights of the new system include:

• a more responsive map display capable refreshing the screen much more quickly
• easy preconfigured maps for the casual user
• a predictive search mechanism for finding places, addresses, legal descriptions, roads, intersections, and many other types of features.
• an improved printing mechanism that can produce quality maps in pdf, jpeg or png format
• the ability to directly save search results to csv file
• maps work with smart mobile devices i.e. iPhone, iPad, Android 
• an advanced viewer for more experiences GIS users with advanced tools

And while it will have a fresh new look, the majority of the map layers from the existing system will still be available in this new system.

Or alternatively you can enter straight into the standard GIS viewer from the click below. Once you have entered the map the web site will ask you to accept the terms and conditions then choose what type of map you would like to view. The maps have been tailored for a particular purpose so that the user can obtain the right information easier. The maps are grouped by 8 or more major categories. As seen below in the following images.

For advanced users or consultants who have GIS knowledge and skills our advanced viewer will be more appropriate. (be aware it uses adobe flash plugin to be installed first)

Canterbury Maps for your iOS device

Canterbury Maps now has a free app that can be downloaded from the New Zealand Apple iTunes store and put on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch devices.  Based on the standard web viewer application, the app has been optimised to run on these devices.  They feature the same functionality as their web cousin, and access exactly the same content that you see on your browser.

You can see a preview of the app on the iTunes website here:

To install the app, simply search for Canterbury Maps in iTunes or click below.

Similar apps are in production for Android and Windows phone users which will hopefully be available later on this year.
