GIS Mapping

What is a geographic information system?

A geographic information system (GIS) integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information. GIS helps answer questions and solve problems by looking at data in a way that is quickly understood and easily shared. The information is maintained and used by all municipal departments, residents, public, government, and non-government agencies. The Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW) maintains and offers a wide range of data such as;

• Property information (street names, addresses, parcel outlines, legal descriptions and zoning regulations)
• Utilities (sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water systems and transportation infrastructure)
• Recreation (parks and bike/hiking trails)
• Terrain (aerial photos and contours)
