IndianaMap
Supports hundreds of
local, regional and
statewide projects
each year
34:1 ROI

How is INMAP used?
• Application
connections
• Mapping
Publishing
Services
14
What’s Coming Next
• At least 48 counties committed to share
their data with IndianaMap via IDHS
grants
• Serves multi-agency, multi-jurisdictional
needs to share addresses and centerlines
• Everyone benefits
15
Opportunities and Challenges General
• Computer hardware and data storage
more affordable
• Internet a computing platform
• System complexity increasing

Whatever the future holds, GIS
ought to have a strong role
• Indiana would benefit from funding for a
sustainable and robust GIS service
– New orthophotography
– Maintain and manage IndianaMap
– Support statewide GIS coordination and
education
– Planning, emergency preparedness/response
• Is the Stimulus Plan an opportunity for GIS
technology to serve society and our State?
20
Next Statewide Ortho Project?
• IGIC Workgroup
• Discussing statewide 6 inch, 4 band
• One quarter of state/year on repeating
basis
• How much data?
– 3 band RGB 2.7 x larger than 2005 geotiffs
– 12.3 TB total RGB/4 years 3.1+ TB/year
– 16.4 TB total RGB+IR/4 years 4.1+ TB/year
21
Challenges for
Indiana/Nation/Technology
• Common good and local needs
• Build GIS infrastructure with physical
infrastructure
• Mobile GIS (your cell phone as a GPS)
• Temporal GIS
• Balancing public good, privacy, utility
• We’re all downstream of someplace… knowing
what’s going on upstream can help!
