SUBJECT: Muskoka Web Mapping Update

REPORT NO: PED-1-2010-6

RECOMMENDATION

None. Submitted for information only.

ORIGIN

The following is an update for Committee on the use of the District of Muskoka's interactive web mapping site which was launched on April 1, 2009.

ANALYSIS

Since April 1, 2009, there have been 10,647 users of the Muskoka Web Map. This is the second most visited page on the District of Muskoka web site following the employment opportunities page. The site is attracting an average of 1,200 hits per month. The majority of visitors are from within Muskoka, however the data also shows that users are as far away as the United States, the United Kingdom and China (see Appendix "1").

The Muskoka Web Map application provides the ability of each user to create a custom map. This ability will be expanded as we add layers to the system. The system is also available for both internal and public use.

The Muskoka Web Map site gives the users an opportunity to provide comments and suggestions by using the 'contact us' link. The comments received to date have been primarily positive. Suggestions made by users have been implemented, where possible, to improve the functionality of the site. Comments were received from Safari web browser users indicating an inability to search with this browser. Although the data shows only 2.55% of the visitors are currently using Safari web browser, we have submitted this comment to the developers of the software. It is hoped future versions of the program will be improved to address this issue.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

The District of Muskoka's interactive web mapping site supports the following goal as outlined in Muskoka's Strategic Priorities Documents:

Managing Our Legac!1 Together "10.3 (in part) Improve the information available to the public on the responsibilities of Muskoka District. Update the corporate website as a source of Muskoka information and move towards an online business transaction capability."
