Course Objective

An online or web-based GIS system is simply that, a mapping system you can use on the web. These systems provide data that go beyond your farm operation and provide data at the county, state and national levels. The enefit from using these tools is that you don't need to purchase stand-alone software. You can either download a viewer or use a web browser to access online web maps. You can overlay several data layers, make measurements ie, acres, feet), obtain data, display, and print maps. However, many of these online GIS systems are designed for specific purposes and are limited to the data that it represents. In many cases you are not able to download data to your own software or add your own data through the online GIS. In the future, there will be more services that can allow you to add your own data. Since these tools rely on the Internet it requires fast bandwidth to refresh and isplay maps adequately on your computer. This can be a large drawback for rural communities with limited bandwidth capabilities. In some cases, the map will not even display. Some examples of online GIS systems include county and engineering offices for putting up real estate parcel and tax information.
