Collaborate

Interactive web mapping tools can support users creating data (points, lines, polygons), and can be linked to selection/search functions. "Geo-wiki" options allow users or the public to see what others are doing and to comment on geographic elements (e.g., insert notes about accuracy, missing data, etc.). Collaboration tools can require fairly significant resources to create.

Coming soon in June, 2010: The new GreenInfo MapCollaborator engine

This web mapping tool allows users to easily draw revisions on data sets, post notes for others to read, suggest changes and even upload their own GIS files. All without downloading any software or learning any programs. It can be easily customized for use within an organization or as a general public comment board.

Stay tuned for the launch of MapCollaborator!
