COINAtlantic's Geospatial Tools

 

COINAtlantic collaborated with Gateway Geomatics, to develop open source geospatial tool, the COINAtlantic Geocontent Generator (CGG), that allowed users to create and publish their own geospatial information (points, lines, and polygons). These files were findable on Google and the COINAtlantic Search Utility (CSU), which allowed users to discover and access other types of geospatial information, combine data layers, and create custom shareable maps.
