Reconnecting America releases two interactive maps
Reconnecting America has added map navigation to two projects and incorporated feedback forms in both that will allow visitors to help maintain and update the information.
The 2011 edition of Jumpstarting the Transit Space Race and the 2010 Inventory of Transit Oriented Development Programs now sport large interactive locator maps that give a national overview of the data and provide the ability to click and learn more about a particular map point. The material is also sorted into sections for easier browsing.
"These maps allow people to delve into the information in a way that you just can't do with a spreadsheet," said Jeff Wood, Reconnecting America's new media director and chief cartographer.
Feedback forms will be especially useful for these projects since both were, when published, snapshots of that time. Much has changed since then. Now, with visitor input, Reconnecting America will be able to update these resources on a continuing basis.
