City of Asheville Releases Updated GIS Information

Today, the map Asheville, a GIS map viewer tool, that allows staff and the public to better visual spatial information. The first Map Asheville was launched in 2005, but today the City of Asheville GIS team is launching the third rendition.  

Map Asheville will be using the same web link https://avlmap.ashevillenc.gov/ so there’s nothing you need to do differently but if you have any questions or issues please feel free to contact the Help Desk at help@ashevillenc.gov 

Some new highlights: 

• Mobile and tablet versions with the same URL, the map will auto-adjust to your screen size. 

• Streamlined tools that are easier to use and a Help tool embedded in the map that will help users learn how to use the Map tools, like the Near Me buffer tool and the Google Street view widget. 

• A Map Legend and Layer List that are pinned to the map layout.  Users can search for and turn on and off map layers with the layer list.
