Title: VanMap, Autodesk® MapGuide® Enterprise, and the 2010 Winter Olympics: A Host City Tale
Instructor: Jonathan Mark
Course Description: The City of Vancouver introduced VanMap to its staff in 1999, and to the public in 2001. The applications are very data intensive with hundreds of data layers and much functionality. In the fall of 2008, the city's GIS Team was approached about developing a specialized version of VanMap for inclusion on the Host City website, which provided information to make it easier to maneuver around Vancouver during the Games. Because of the requirements imposed by Corporate Communications, this request posed many significant challenges. This class focuses on the process that led from initial discussions about interactive mapping requirements for Host City, to the development, deployment, and successful production use of Autodesk® MapGuide® Enterprise technology to meet the requirements leading up to and during the Games. Challenges and lessons learned will also be discussed.
