Spatial Sciences
- Mapping links
Note:
This is not an official web page, but rather something I have put
together for those who may be interested in online interactive
mapping & spatial data links for the Spatial Sciences.
What are the Spatial Sciences?
Spatial Science includes such fields as mapping/cartography, GIS
(Geographic Information Systems), surveying, GPS, aerial/satellite
imagery, and photogrammetry.
It is a growth area, given the potential use for such things as
GIS.
For the layman, GIS software is a combination of mapping and
database software. If you have information in a database that has
some geographic aspect to it, then you may be able to use it in a
GIS. As such, there is enormous potential for its use.
The list of links below is by no means intended to be
comprehensive but rather a 'starting point'.

Mapping on the web
There is much more in the way of online
interactive mapping than just the well-known sites such as Google,
Apple and Microsoft, the ever-growing list below provides plenty
to browse through.
Local Government
These concentrate on platforms such as IntraMaps, ESRI,
MapInfo and OpenStreetMap; basic Google maps are ignored.
Private
Other
I also have a list of mapping links
on my 4WD web page; this includes links to some of the above
websites.
See also my KMZ samples page for
what I have been up to with creating KMZ files for Google Earth.
