Synopsis: Spatial imaging and data are vital for proper planning and policy making. To get the best data and imagery, governments should work with the Google Map Platform and Google Maps Premier Partner Sanborn. By having the most accurate data available, governments will be better prepared to solve the problems they face.
The AppGeo division of Sanborn used their expertise in GIS to analyze and improve how governments function. This webinar (recorded on January 22, 2020) brings together Greg Grube, GIS Elections Specialist for the Wisconsin Elections Commission, and Aaron Doucett, Sales Engineer and GIS analyst from AppGeo to discuss the problem-solving potential of Google Maps Platform.

Grube: “If you’re looking at a paper map there’s a lot more guesswork because you can’t zoom into this kind of level… Us having the Google maps piece integrated into our system has been really helpful because when something goes wrong we can point it out and find out why. It hopefully becomes obvious based on the map…the problems become more obvious than if it was in a spreadsheet or something like that.”
Getting the most out of Google Maps Platform takes experience and a little bit of familiarity with the platform. Premier partners like Sanborn bring years of experience to the table, allowing clients to get the most out of their applications and web services.
