NYS Orthos Online Mobile (NYSOOM)

NYS Orthos Online Mobile (NYSOOM) is basically a touch-optimized mobile version of the NYS Orthos Online site. I took the ArcGIS REST services hosted by the state and plugged them into the OpenLayers jQuery Mobile example that was a product of the OpenLayers mobile code sprint in Lausanne.

Watervliet Interactive Mapping Application

The Watervliet Interactive Mapping Application is a web-based GIS platform built entirely on Open Source components and technologies, including PostGIS, OpenLayers, and GeoEXT.

This has been a fun little project and a departure from the norm- as there is no GeoServer backend powering this application. All of the vector data is stored in a PostGIS database and fetched as needed via a few custom PHP scripts. Data is exchanged in GeoJSON format and the larger datasets (parcels, buildings) are limited by the user viewport extent.

This method works great for a municipality with a relatively small geographic footprint and dramatically simplifies the system architecture.

St. Lawrence County GeoExplorer

I’ve been working on porting the SLC Open GeoPortal application over to the GeoExplorer platform.  GeoExplorer is a component of the OpenGeo Suite, developed by OpenGeo.  GeoExplorer provides a much more scalable platform which is also easier to maintain and update, however I wanted to retain some of the advanced functionality from my existing OpenLayers/ExtJS site- specifically tax parcel search capabilities, municipal quick zooms, and an organized tree structure for the layer list.  I’m documenting my modifications and posting them on my blog for anyone who may be interested in hacking their own GeoExplorer!

Adirondack Park Regional GIS GeoData Portal

Proof of concept application for visualizing and querying a variety of database tables and map layers.  An initiative of the Adirondack Ecological Center, SUNY ESF.
Tech Specs: GeoServer, OpenLayers, ExtJS, PostGIS, PHP

St. Lawrence County Open GeoPortal

A 100% Open Source Municipal Enterprise Geographic Information System.

The application utilizes a GeoServer back-end to serve up large GIS datasets to a user-friendly OpenLayers web client. This website will give residents tremendous access to public GIS data and services which were previously unavailable due to the lack of a decent distribution platform.

PTNY Cycling The Erie Canal

Parks & Trails New York scraps ArcGIS Server for GeoServer!

Prohibitive maintenance and hosting costs prompt PTNY to embrace Open Source for their interactive Cycling The Erie Canal Map.  This application uses a combination of WFS and WMS services to deliver key information about the Erie Canalway Trail, historic and cultural attractions, lodging, bike shops, and visitor information.  OpenLayers wrapped in ExtJS provides an intuitive user interface- farewell ESRI!
