Enhanced tools work across all platforms County of Frontenac GIS (geographic information system) staff successfully migrated all County mapping features to the most up to date standards over the weekend. Labelled Frontenac Maps 2.0, all maps available to the public at www.frontenacmaps. ca, and all applications used by the County and its four member municipalities, have much greater zoom and search capabilities and provide enhanced access to endusers with disabilities. Frontenac Maps 2.0 is fully compatible across all devices and has two sets of imagery available (2008 and 2014). The upgrade replaces the system that was put in place in December of 2010. In the past weeks County GIS staff have visited all four Townships and provided training in advance of the upgrade. Many staff in all member municipalities use the interactive mapping features including planners and public works employees. The website www.frontenacmaps.ca hosts a wide variety of mapping applications available to the public including cycling routes in and beyond the County totaling more than 600 kilometers, a map of Frontenac Brand Ambassadors and a listing of Frontenac Paramedic Services stations. The section labeled Interactive Mapping is home to the upgraded system, which includes an extensive collection of zoning information, roads data, points of interest and much more.
