Enjoy the latest Geographic Information System rage with Interactive Maps. Unlike other "rages" Interactive Mapping is here to stay. Our Interactive Mapping Service (IMS) is based primarily on ESRI's ArcIMS technology. However,we offer other alternatives for making your own geographic data viewers that are accesible to anyone with an Internet connection.

Our IMS sites are categorized into three basic groups:

Campus Map Services

Community Map Services

and

Academic Map Services

Instructions
Some of the Map Services require browser plugins. Each map service indicates which plugins are required and includes instructions for downloading and installing.

JAVA Preparation: Windows Operating System

To view an IMS site with a Java Viewer, two files need to be installed on your computer. If you engage a Java site without pre-installing the two files, you will be prompted to install them. It is faster to install the files before. Click to download each item and save them on your computer. Then run each application to install them. After installing both, then open any of JAVA Viewer maps on this page

Java Runtime Environment (JRE) (9 MB) -- Windows only
