New user-friendly web tool brings power of GIS to the public

STARKVILLE, Miss.— The Geosystems Research Institute (GRI) at Mississippi State University has released a new web application, “GeoDawg,” that gives Mississippians the ability to easily use the capabilities of a powerful geographic information system (GIS).

GeoDawg is a simple, yet sophisticated, geographic information system that allows users to view high-resolution aerial imagery, find elevations anywhere in Mississippi, create and share maps with others, among many other uses.

The software was developed as a means to publicly share a large collection of GIS data acquired through grants from the state of Mississippi over the past several years.
