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.
