The Redwood Technology Consortium’s monthly meeting will feature Chinmaya Lewis from the County of Humboldt. He will give a thorough introduction to the County’s new publicly available online Geographical Information System (GIS). GIS allows you to create maps with layers of selected data. This is very cool technology but the interface can be a little confusing. Mr. Lewis should make it all clear for us.
The meeting is at the Humboldt Area Foundation Conference Room off of Indianola Cutoff at 5:30 PM.
Bob,
Thanks for having me. I enjoyed presenting to the group. I hope it helped to clear some of the confusion in the interface. There is plenty of functionality, but the basics – navigation the map and searches – should be easy enough.This is a work in progress and comments or suggestions about the interface are always useful and encouraged. They go right to my inbox.
Here’s the link to the portal page:

Hey Julia,
Thanks for the notice. (I edited your comment to make the link work).
As of today, Google announced that KML is now an open standard.
