Tomorrow is GIS Day! Celebrated annually on November 20th, this day is dedicated to celebrating GIS professionals, inspiring others, and teaching the next generation about the impact of GIS work.

The detailed trail information like trail length, elevation gain, difficulty level, user reviews, photos, maps, and sometimes even GPS coordinates is so helpful when planning your adventure so you know what to expect.

I never imagined when I suggested a group themed costume for Straughan’s annual Halloween bash that the state and local GIS team would be voted best group costume! The team decided on software/tech as the theme. Check out our costumes for Napster, the cloud, Oracle, web server, and installation wizard!! I love this team! Christina G.
