Very important that students and academics have access

to high quality spatial data for teaching and research

What’sMissing(orperhapsI’mjustnotawareofit)?

• LiDARdata– inc. pointclouds(previouslyonLandmap)• Recentmultibandimagery(e.g.GetMapping,Geoeye,Worldview)• Thermalimagery• Dynamic/Temporaldata(e.g.trafficdatasets)• Webmapping serviceasbackgroundforGISdesktop• Abilitytofilterdownloadbasedonattributesnotarea(eg OSMasterMap allparks)
