A major step forward for online mapping

August 22, 2008 (posted by ElektroMoose)

The REP has been a big fan of online mapping applications for some time now. How could anyone be against user-friendly applications that allow advocates to document the variety of socio-economic issues facing low-income households? One drawback, however, to these applications has been a limited set of mappable indicators. It appears that the folks at KnowledgePlex have made some serious strides to solving this problem.
KnowledgePlex just launched their new beta version of DataPlace. DataPlace was already a wonderful mapping application. The new version is even better! We are still playing with the beta but users will be able to map almost 4,000 different indicators once the new version is fully functional. Wow!
