Service Description
Web-based GIS applications provide GIS capabilities to a broad audience, including management, staff, and the public without the need for dedicated software, and accessible from desktop and mobile platforms. Countywide applications include:
- Services Locator – http://maps.lacounty.gov – Citizens can find the location and availability of public services based on their address or location. Departments can extend this application to focus on their services.
- District Locator – http://gis.lacounty.gov/districtlocator – Citizens and staff find political and administrative districts based on an address. Departments can add their boundaries upon request.
- GIS Viewer – http://gis.lacounty.gov/gisviewer – Citizens can view, query, and print authoritative spatial data (e.g. imagery, political and administrative districts, parcels) on a map anywhere in the County.
- Parcel Viewer – http://gis.lacounty.gov/parcelviewer – eGIS member departments can view up-to-date County parcel information including ownership information and boundaries on a map.
- Geocortex Application Development Framework – Powerful and easy to use web mapping applications can be built quickly and cost effectively using Latitude Geographics’ Geocortex technology products. The GIS Viewer and Parcel Viewer were built using this out-of-the-box solution.
- EagleView Connect Explorer – https://explorer.eagleview.com/login.php – provides online access to oblique imagery which can be overlain by GIS data layers.
Governance
The Services Locator has a Governance Committee. The eGIS Executive Committee and the eGIS Group at ISD manage Countywide applications that multiple departments can simultaneously use.
Custom Applications
Departments can leverage the Geocortex Framework to build GIS Web mapping applications themselves, or the eGIS Program can build web applications for your department.
