Calling All SoCalGIS Cities – Help!

Posted on by

I thought of using a title for this post like “He Totally Messed Up The Map And You Won’t Believe What Happened Next” just to get you to click, but I settled for the one above instead! 😀

Now that I have your attention…

If you are using GIS in a city or county government in Los Angeles County or Orange County and you have a public web site for your GIS maps and apps, please help me out!

Please check the SoCalGIS Resources page and make sure that the link to your city or county web site is correct.  If the URL has changed or your site is missing from the list, please let me know via email.

And if you have other resources you use that you think would be a good idea to have on the SoCalGIS site, let me know about that too!

Thanks.

Well, it has been a while since our last meeting.  I think it’s time for one!

Our next SoCalGIS meeting will be hosted by CyberCity 3D.  They will be demonstrating their state-of-the-art 3D Geospatial Building Modeling and new 3D Streaming Maps services.  Check out their new website www.cybercity3d.com .

Lunch will be provided!  So come early and network during lunch before our meeting presentations.  Here is the agenda.

SoCalGIS Meeting September 16th
11:30am to about 2pm
Round Table Pizza
4330 Redondo Beach Blvd., Torrance

The meeting room is in the back of the restaurant.  Plenty of free parking and I believe there will be wifi available too.

If you plan on attending, please RSVP to me so I can get a head count.

Also, I am looking for others to present their work on anything GIS.  It would be nice to see what other cities or the county are doing.  Just let me know if you are interested in presenting.  Thanks!  -mike

LA County Assessor Maps Have Moved

Posted on by

Just an FYI to all City GIS staff in LA County.  If you have GIS applications or data that have links to the LA County Assessor maps, you might find them broken now.  It looks like LA County has moved the links since they updated their Property Assessment Information System application here.

For example, this old PDF link:
http://maps.assessor.lacounty.gov/mapping/viewAssessorMapPDF.asp?val=2438-018

has been replaced with this new one:
http://maps.assessor.lacounty.gov/Geocortex/Essentials/REST/sites/PAIS/VirtualDirectory/AssessorMaps/ViewMap.html?val=2438-018

Burbank has a few apps that are broken now.  I bet you do too!  -mike
