Announcements

The Imagery Basemap has been disabled on PimaMaps as of 3/29/17.  Imagery at the zoomed in scales in the Grey Canvas, Street and Topography Basemaps has also been disabled and will now appear white when zoomed in. To view Imagery at all scales, please turn on the "Latest Orthophoto Imagery" checkbox in the Layers panel.

The current version of PimaMaps provides a viewer/user-interface that is compatible with most devices and browsers, except for some older versions such as IE8.

Items of interest regarding the current viewer include -
  • PimaMaps has a context-sensitive user interface, in that the user can get assistance by interacting with the application , e.g. hovering over or activating map tools and controls displays instructions at the bottom of the map.
  • Map tips appear by single-clicking on map features instead of hovering over them.
  • Linked maps can be added which provide corresponding map content from other sources, e.g. Pictometry, Google Street View, and Google Maps.
  • Upload data, add local data from .csv, .xlsx, .kml, .shp (provides geometry only), .gpx, or a .zip containing individual shapefile sets (provides geometry and attributes).
  • Feature snapping is available when using the measure and identify tools.
  • Measure tools have enhanced labels.
  • Query results can be saved for later use.
  • Query results can be and exported directly to .xlsx files.
  • Plotting coordinates has been enhanced so that you can edit, hide, or remove individual items.
  • Maps can be exported to the added formats GeoTiff and PDF.

Help and What's New


Feedback

Feedback should continue to be provided through the help tools available in the viewer.

Getting Started

The PimaMaps new viewer is HTML based, which allows it to be used from all major browsers (including Safari) without need of a Plug-In or Add-on.  The new viewer will detect tablet or handheld devices and format the display accordingly.  Additional enhancements to the new viewer are expected over the coming months.

The legacy Silverlight viewer will remain available for existing maps for the near future.
