Distinctive Web Map Based on Century-Old Cartographic Tradition

National Geographic and Esri have collaborated to produce this cartographically distinctive basemap that reflects National Geographic’s cartographic design, typographic style, and map policies.
This basemap provides a visually appealing background for web mapping applications for mobile users, consumers, and educational purposes, and is also well suited as a general reference map for many GIS projects.
This National Geographic World Map has been added to the collection of existing ArcGIS Online basemaps that users can access freely for internal and external use.

SCAUG Participates in Coastal Conference

Several SCAUG officers recently participated in the Coastal Development Strategies Conference in Biloxi, Mississippi. Lauralee Gann, MS rep, did a great job hosting us & getting the conference amenities taken care of. We saw a few familiar faces along with several new ones that were unfamiliar with SCAUG. This hopefully laid some very important framework in the area & provided us the much needed foot in the door for both Mississippi & Louisiana. Lauralee Gann, Shellie Willoughby (VP), Shane Diaz (LA Rep), & Charles Brady(President) attended the conference. In addition to having a booth at the conference, Shellie & Charles gave a presentation highlighting the benefits of SCAUG. It was a great conference and we look forward to more opportunities to work with GIS professionals in the coastal region.

Busy Time for OK SCAUG

2010 is off to a great start for OK SCAUG. Earlier this week we had our first user group meeting in Broken Arrow. We had a great turn out with over 45 people registered for the event. Thank you to our wonderful presenters and ESRI for a great meeting.

Next week OK SCAUG will have a booth at GIS Day at the Capitol. If you are in the OKC area on Wednesday, stop by the 2nd floor rotunda of the State Capitol Building, grab a drink, and chat with the various SCAUG members who will be manning the booth. It will be a great chance to catch up with old friends as well as see some awesome GIS work going on in the state of Oklahoma.

Don't forget the upcoming events later in the year as well. The June meeting will be held at the National Weather Center on June 3 and our 13th annual OK SCAUG conference is scheduled for later in the fall. Be sure to check out www.scaug.org for all the latest OKSCAUG information.

We look forward to seeing you at an upcoming OKSCAUG event!
