I am proud to announce that the city of Hammond has launched our interactive city web map. This map was created using entirely free technology based on fusion tables, Google maps and the Google API. This has been a goal of mine for quite a while now but we just haven’t had the resources to invest in ArcServer or hire an outside company to host a site for us. So for 15 years I have focused on compiling data and ‘making pretty maps’ as my boss likes to say. Thanks to my assistant Tom Ramker, we now have the ability to share this data with the public. I invite you to visit our map and see what you think. I would appreciate any feedback you might have (especially if you find something that doesn’t work properly or is confusing).
