Pointmap Incorporated provides a number of GIS services and resulting products. These services can vary greatly in scope and scale, depending on the project. For more information about what GIS is and why it might be used, please call us for a more complete description, or take a look at the ESRI web site.

  First and foremost, Pointmap Incorporated provides GIS development services. Primarily using ArcView, from ESRI, we build a customer-specific "project" file, containing all the informational components. Development data can come directly from the client, from a secondary source, the internet, or can be created by Pointmap Incorporated.

  Once the Geographic Information System has been created, there are a number of products that can be produced to convey the GIS information:

1] Maps
Pointmap Incorporated can create high quality maps in color or black & white. Maps can be created at paper 8 1/2 x 11 up to 42" wide. Final output can be prepared using a number of media options, including photo quality glossy film.

2] Desktop GIS - ArcView 9.2
The final GIS can be provided to the client, so that they will have the ability to query, display, print, and sometimes revise the information at their command. One way to do this is to load the GIS information, including the .MXD file, onto a desktop or server that also has a licensed copy of ArcView on it. Using ArcView, the client can then open the project file and make edits and perform analysis.
