  • Create workspaces which support the development of the VTD submissions.
  • Automatically includes national imagery in the background which can be used to identify visible boundaries.  (Microsoft Virtual Earth Content is also available)
  • Use in house GIS data to Accurately update the Census Geographies.
  • Includes Trace tool, which allows the rapid and accurate capture of County provided VTD lines.
  • Provides tools for efficient communication with county representatives.
  • Automatically track progress of your review so that the work can be completed in the most efficient manner possible.
  • Dynamic labeling always insures that features on the screen are properly identified.
