A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer hardware and software system capable of handling the storage, manipulation, analysis and display of spatial data and related attribute data.  In essence, GIS enables digital mapping information, or CAD (computer aided drafting) files, to graphically represent a database of information.  Example of this, is coordinates in a database for sanitary sewer manholes, can be mapped in GIS, and color coded by the type of manhole, or the year it was installed.

We do not have any other municipality maps for sale, other than the City of Grande Prairie.  Please contact the County of Grande Prairie, for County maps.

The City uses Autodesk Map, for all our digital mapping, and we use Autodesk Mapguide for our distributed GIS application.

In conjuction with the Autodesk Mapguide software, we also use coldfusion for our custom mapguide reports, that are hitting both Microsoft Access and SQL Server databases.

The initial terms of reference for the Corporate GIS Team are contained in the Geographic Information System (GIS) Application Planning Report of May 1997, which also provides the context for current GIS recommendations and their disposition. Current status information is available on the GIS Planning and Status Reports page.
