Viewing Datasets

What kinds of data can be viewed using GeoMapApp?

Your own data can be imported from tables and viewed in GeoMapApp by choosing Import Data Tables in the File menu. In addition, over 100 diverse datasets are ready for viewing in GeoMapApp-VG using either the Available Data menu or by using the Connect to WFS under the File Menu. More data and datatypes are continually becoming available. The following description is to show the user where to look for data and to give some idea of the breadth of datatypes available, not to be an exhaustive and up-to-the-minute list.

From the File Menu

The following types of data, both hosted elsewhere and your own computer, are accessed by selecting them from the File Menu.

  • Connect to WFS (Web Feature Services, hosted at other sites as well as ours)
  • Import Data Tables
