How does UASL differ from other state’s on-line systems?
• Unlike most state systems, UASL allows the users to: • get just the part of data that they want, they are not restricted to predefined map units (i.e. data is dynamically “clipped” by the selected polygon), • select data by many easy-to-use criteria: (a) Township/Range/Section, (b) address and buffersize, (c) point in UTM, lat/lon or SPSC coordinates and buffer size, (d) box drawn on screen (e) place (e.g. city-limits, county, park boundaries and/or (f) theme keyword, • convert the data to up to 50 + different GIS formats, • convert the data to a wide range of datums and projections, • obtain a much wider range of data, • access seamless statewide DOQQ aerial photography and TM imagery that is contrast balanced, • access imagery (including DRG, DOQQ, TM) that has not lost any detail through compression (if desired), • access all data via the FGDC NSDI clearinghouse system, and • get data that is OGC specification compliant.
