Map Server Mobile

Making geographic information readily available to the public has always been a top priority for the City’s Geographic Information Systems (GIS) division and now that information is available instantly by the simpletouch of a phone. It was less than two years ago when the City partnered with Sweetwater County and Greenwood Mapping Inc. to offer the public an interactive online web-mapping service that allowed for the viewing of custom maps based on the information and level of detail they so desired to see in Sweetwater County, right from the comfort of their home or business. “We call it MapServer,” says Jason Brown, GIS Specialist for the City of Green River. MapServer allows any user on a personal computer to readily view information such as roads, streets, highways, the zoning of homes, businesses, schools, parks and playgrounds, the greenbelt pathway, the main street district, the historical district, flood zones, fire zones and even well heads.Even better is that MapServer is now available in a newly designed on-the-go format. “This same information on your computer can now be viewed on your phone,” says Brown, “and we call it MapServer Mobile.” MapServer Mobile can be accessed by typing the following web address into the address bar of your
Smartphone or tablet pc: http://www.sweet.wy.us/mapserver/mobile/map.html
