World’s first Garden City looks to the future with GIS software from Cadcorp

North Hertfordshire District Council (NHDC) is migrating from a bespoke web mapping application to an off-the-shelf application from British software developer, Cadcorp. The upgrade will make interactive web mapping available to more than 300 council employees. NHDCâs GIS Manager, John Barnacle, said, âWe will be replacing a bespoke 32-bit web mapping application with a 64-bit version of Cadcorpâs off-the-shelf product - Web Map Layers 8.0. It will bring us new functionality, a modern and responsive user interface, and we will have future-proofed our investment in GIS.â Web Map Layers will be managed from the Council offices in Letchworth, a town of 33,000 people and the worldâs first Garden City. www.cadcorp.com
