Several departments need updated Street/Structure photos to include in their workflows. Since each department has a different need taking individual photos is not efficient or cost effective. Ideally staff would like to use Google Street View but the outdated photos, licensing, and unpredictable updates make it not ideal. So we looked at creating our own over the past year using ESRI software we already have and cameras that cost just a few hundred dollars. This allows us to get the images we need, control the updates, have full control over the licensing, and can efficiently gather and process the images over a few days. This should be a game changer for City of Wauwatosa and we want it to be a game changer in your community too!
The Data Interoperability Extension is a vital tool for GIS professionals to take their data manipulation and transformation skills to the next level, with minimal programming knowledge required. This presentation focuses on the functionalities of the extension and its application in meeting the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Lead and Copper Rule Revision (LCRR) requirements for smaller municipalities with minimal existing GIS infrastructure. Examples include the mass population of geometry and attributes from Excel spreadsheets, PDFs, and other spatial features. By leveraging the extension's capabilities, professionals can effectively automate data maintenance tasks, reports, and improve workflows.
