What's next in Nanaimo? Putting cemetery records on the map.

Nanaimo is famous for its heavy use of GIS (Google and Safe Technology among others, see my discussion of the city's presentation at the FME User Conference) and now, due to demand, will offer up information on who's buried in town. The data, originally on paper maps, is now accessible by staff, but will be on the city website, accessible to all, by summer. And, it's likely it'll be on Google Earth, too.

This is a great idea but I hope the information will be more easily accessible than the other information the City of Nanaimo has posted on their Google Earth maps. It's a pain to have to download programs and invest hours of study just to look at their maps. Only specialist researchers will bother to do so.
