Track: Online Services
Authors: Lou Jacoby, Seema Gopinathan

NJDEP has dramatically overhauled its flagship interactive web mapping application - NJ-GeoWeb. Included in the new NJ-GeoWeb 2.0 are an entirely new user interface, several new profiles, and an assortment of new tool enhancements. Users can locate areas of interest, view and interact with NJDEP's GIS data, and query related environmental information from NJDEP and other data sources. NJ-GeoWeb 2.0 presents users with a suite of customized profiles to choose from, where users can work within a more tailored application that includes specific datasets, tools, searches, and reports developed to address the interests of the general public, targeted groups of users, and the regulated community. These improvements promise to make this release an even more widely used application, granting users access to more data and functionality, enabling them to gain better understanding of environmental issues in their areas of interest.
