What Would Steve Jobs Think About the State of GIS Mapping in the Mainstream?


Richmond, Virginia (PRWEB) July 26, 2012

Timmons Group, a leader in enterprise geospatial products and services, is pleased to announce an upcoming webinar focusing on the state of GIS applications in the mainstream today. The webinar will take place on Tuesday, July 31, from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. EST. You are invited to join Timmons Group staff to discuss how to better target your audience, create intuitive user experiences, make beautiful maps, simplify your application, and reintroduce the map to the web! We will use practical examples to demonstrate how the latest technology can solve todays geospatial challenges.

Join Chris Gerecke, Director of Enterprise Solutions for Timmons Group, to talk about the top ten ways to enhance and streamline the user experience of your geospatial application. Chris will pose the question – What would the late Steve Jobs of Apple think about the state of todays GIS mapping applications? Jobs, a known visionary in user experience and user interface design, prioritized that experience in Apples products. Our webinar will attempt to answer that question by showing how the GIS industry stacks up in terms of creating an appealing and intuitive user experience for the masses.

Does your mapping website need a help manual? Can non-GIS users successfully use your 200 layers and 20 tools? Shouldnt your site seamlessly transition to an iPad and other mobile devices? If you answered yes to any of the previous questions, then join our webinar and discussion.
