Industry:  Retail, Wireless / Navigation, Business GIS, Geographic Data, Database, Software Development, GIS Software Products, Spatial Data Standards, Internet/Web Mapping/Web Services, Interoperability and Data Integration, Open Source GIS, Location Technology, Geospatial Technology, Programming Languages, Wi-Fi, LBS Software Platforms & Tools

Brief Description: This tutorial describes in detail the process of creating a Web GIS application. For this project we used a NAVTEQ map of Chicago as a base map and WiGLE data for GIS analysis. WiGLE is an acronym for “Wireless Geographic Logging Engine”. This interesting project has the purpose of cataloging wireless networks across the world. Location of wireless network is calculated by triangulation using GPS traces that are submitted by users. The interesting feature of their service is the ability to query the database and get detailed data about wireless networks. We used this service to get the data for the purpose of this project.

Brief Description: An easy to use and interactive Google Mashup showing property for sale or for rent in the UK. Property data comes from many different data providers.
