2017 GIS in Development Track: USGS POD Implementation in USGS Cloud to Support US Topo Production
Download as PPTX, PDF1 like164 views
The USGS has modernized its US Topo map production system by implementing a cloud-based Product on Demand (POD) system. The POD system produces digital US Topo maps in a geospatial PDF format from various federal and partner data sources. It allows for future capabilities like dynamic mapping at multiple scales and formats and custom map content and areas of interest. The USGS aims to complete its third production cycle by 2018 and enhance US Topo with additional recreational trails and other geographic data.
