City Updates the Geographic Information System Maps Layout

The City of Grand Junction's Geographic Information System (GIS) maps have been upgraded to a newer, more advanced software platform. This upgrade was necessary because the previous system was built on older technology that was no longer supported, and we transitioned to a modern system to ensure long-term reliability, security, and performance. The update has enhanced the performance, usability, and functionality of the mapping systems, providing a more modern and efficient experience for all users. Importantly, the upgrade has also improved accessibility, making the maps easier to navigate and use for individuals with disabilities and ensuring compliance with current accessibility standards.

As part of this transition, some services and tools may appear slightly different. Through this update, the draw tool currently cannot save, import, or export drawings, a feature which future versions hopefully will restore. These improvements are designed to support better data integration, faster updates, and more interactive mapping tools going forward.

For assistance, a detailed User Guide is available within each application - on desktop, look for the question mark (?) icon in the lower right corner; on a tablet or phone, the User Guide can be accessed from the help button at the top of the page. We appreciate your patience and support as we continue delivering an improved and more accessible GIS experience for the City of Grand Junction. For questions regarding the GIS mapping, contact the GIS Map Support team.
