Made for residents, not GIS specialists

Each map opens on the answer people come looking for, then lets them dig into the detail.

  • Works on a phone

    Every map runs in the browser and responds to touch. Nobody needs an app or an account.

  • Tours, not just layers

    Guided tours step through the Square, North, East and Decatur ANX, or through 14 historic buildings one at a time.

  • Dashboards that follow the map

    Zoning mix, housing types and nearby amenities recalculate for whatever part of the city is on screen.

  • Fits into decaturga.com

    Any map can be placed on a City web page with one line of embed code, and it stays up to date there.

About this concept

GISCARTA prepared this page to show the City of Decatur what a modern map portal could look like. The eight maps on it are live today and can be opened, shared or embedded. This is a proposal, not a replacement for the City's current GIS portal.
