Meade County Water District Upgrades GIS Software and Equipment to Provide Greater Accuracy and Distribution of its Existing Investment.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 1, 2010 - Meade County Water District (MCWD), located in Brandenburg, KY, recently upgraded its existing GIS investment by adding a Trimble GeoXH subfoot global positioning systems (GPS) running ESRI's mobile GIS software, ArcPadr, for high accuracy data collection and MapSync's GeoSyncXGr software for internal and mobile data distribution.

MCWD currently uses SDI's utility mapping extension to ESRI ArcViewr, SDImapsT, for data management. These recent additions will allow Meade County to more efficiently manage infrastructure assets by refining the geospatial location and allow for the distribution of the existing GIS system throughout the district. GeoSyncXG desktop software makes it easy for GIS users to create targeted interactive maps for desktop or mobile viewing in a friendly and easy to use interface. In addition, MCWD personnel will have the ability to search, view, and print published interactive maps as well as, perform advanced network traces and valve isolations in the field.
