Who is the ABMI Mapping Portal for?
The ABMI Mapping portal is for anyone interested in geospatial data for the province of Alberta. This can include, but not limited to, First Nations and Metis communities, scientists, industry, government, non-profit organizations, and the general public.
What are the benefits of the Mapping Portal?
The Mapping Portal is free to use and accessible from anywhere with an Internet connection. Users don’t need any particular software or technical knowledge to explore and find mapping data that interests them. In fact, the technology behind the Mapping Portal allows users to easily view datasets that include millions of polygons. It’s up to users to decide what’s included! Whether it’s a map of human footprint or suitable habitat for Canada Warbler, users can select the datasets they’re interested in.
It’s a one-stop shop to explore the ABMI’s numerous datasets such as the Human Footprint or Wetland Inventories.
The Area of Interest layers let users focus on a particular region of the province. Users can also enter legal land descriptions or GPS coordinates to zoom into specific locations. Depending on the dataset, Some datasets such as the Human Footprint Inventory allow users to view simple data summaries for their Area-of-Interest in the main Layers pane. You can easily share a URL to your custom map; all the recipient will need is an Internet connection to see your map and explore the datasets available themselves.
There are many options to choose from when creating your custom map.
The menu of the Mapping Portal is organized hierarchically into four main folders—Datasets; Areas of Interest; Base Layers, and Base Maps.
