St. Charles, Illinois - The Sidwell Company is pleased to announce the launch of the new and improved Kane County, Illinois web site at www.SidwellMaps.com. Sidwell Maps is the online subscription service that provides users with a fast, easy-to-use interface for access to Sidwell’s massive digital parcel map and aerial imagery database. To meet Kane County’s desire to stay current on web technology, Sidwell’s technicians built the new site using the latest technology from ESRI®, ArcGIS® 9.3.1. Through the use of the new optimized map service definitions available in this version of ArcGIS, users will experience a significant improvement in the speed with which the pages load and with their overall appearance. The site includes many other enhancements, the most exciting of which is the availability of oblique imagery which can be displayed on demand with a single mouse click. The new site also includes a direct link to the online real estate community Zillow, as well as improved quality hard copy map output and flood data provided by the County. To learn more about the site and subscription access, visit www.SidwellMaps.com, or contact Sidwell’s Commercial Sales staff at 630-549-1100 today.
