Abstract

City of Scottsdale Interactive Web Maps
Track: Web Apps
Authors: Chris Lechner

The City of Scottsdale updated its public facing web maps from obsolete software to ArcGIS Server. The design philosophy embraced three simple elements: modern cartographic look, minimum number of controls, maximum information. Working on all modern browsers, it allows programming in the ESRI JavaScript API, and uses SDE geodatabases. For simplicity, layers are grouped into user selectable themes. Already proven popular, it will replace all existing public maps within a single map framework.
