Track: Web Mapping
Authors: Melissa Oguamanam

As Maryland’s human, natural, and economic resources evolve, GIS allows state planners to efficiently collect, analyze, and share data to show how Maryland is transforming. The Maryland Department of Planning developed several online mapping applications to examine smart growth patterns throughout the state. This project will showcase how MD Planning implemented the JavaScript API platform to meet the demands of changing user needs and advanced decision making processes with web mapping.
