Things have become a little spooky over at
Landmark Information Group’s Promap Labs portal as
Halloween approaches! Ghosts have taken
over the Promap View tool and created a ‘spookmap’ of a particularly eerie town.
The map shows the ‘risk of bewitchment’, presence of ‘ectoplasm’, pumpkin
farming sites and ghost sightings!
A competition has been launched to create a
name for this spooky city. All ideas will automatically be entered into a prize
draw to win a Lego Haunted House set worth £149.99. To
enter visit http://labs.promap.co.uk/ – entries
close by 11:59pm on Friday 1 November – so be quick!
The ‘spookmap’ has been based on the Promap
Labs View tool, which provides the ability to easily view a wide range of data
in one single map interface. It is designed to provide a simple way to quickly
view a location and understand what environmental factors may affect it,
without needing to be a Geographical Information expert. This can include identifying HSE explosive
sites, to identifying existing national park zones.
