Gis Day in Your Hometown

Link - Learn way around city on GIS Day

experts will show off the public and private technology at GIS Day, as well as help residents find the best geographic sites on the Internet. Moore said one of the best is earth.google.com, which has three-dimensional aerial photos clear enough to show wilderness trails, hikes down the Grand Canyon, and rooftops of city offices. Wednesday, Moore offered previews of the city’s newest maps and said Chandler is the first in the Valley to install detailed blueprints of every public school in laptops carried by police officers and firefighters. Most other cities have access to school layouts without detail, he said.

I’m taking this year off on doing any GIS Day presentations but luckily others are not. My hometown (well adopted hometown) is going to have a GIS Day presentation and Tempe (where my office is located) plans one also.
