Web Mapping (GIS): Using Spatial Data to Explore Hawaii's Biodiversity
PBIN Web Mapping Service. Image: PBIN (Public Domain)
The PBIN web mapping service facilitates the exploration of biological data through a geographic interface. This tool has a high degree of functionality and some advanced GIS capability. Users can identify features, query data, create buffers, "mark up" the map interface with other relevant information and create a PDF map output.
