MAGIC Upgrades its Progeos Online Mapping Tools

The Map and Geographic Information Center (MAGIC) at the University of Connecticut has recently upgraded its Progeos powered online mapping tools.

The modifications include a new web template, improved layout functionality and improved tools. The site publishes a large amount of geospatial data including Connecticut historical aerial photography, historical maps and topographic maps. Progeos services enable MAGIC to provide these data sets across several mediums including in their online mapping tools, in Google Maps and for use in ArcGIS.

MAGIC's online mapping site, www.econmap.com, has several thousand hits a month and has greatly expanded the accessibility of MAGIC's collection to students, faculty, staff and the public. In close to a year of activity www.econmap.com, has been used by over 10,000 unique visitors and over 3,000 maps have been printed from the site. MAGIC will also be expanding its service to other campus entities soon. Check back as we update and create other new and exciting online mapping sites.
