Government Mapping Examples
MapLarge empowers federal, state and local agencies to share their data on the familiar
platforms of Bing and Google Maps.
Traditional online GIS solutions are challenging to set up and often fail to provide a seemless interactive map experience.
Government datasets are often very large and present the challenge of visualizing more than a few records at a time. Using the MapLarge API, agencies can map millions of points and shapes and view them all at any zoom level.
Agencies can contract with MapLarge to implement a project or use our API to quickly map large datasets using a few lines of Javascript and HTML code.
Below are a few examples of how agencies can create compelling map views of the data they collect.
