The Spooks Have Taken Over Promap Labs!

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.

Introducing the new Promap service:
While you’re visiting Promap Labs portal, why not also take a look at the new Promap service, which enables you to export Ordnance Survey (MasterMap) detailed maps for use in your CAD or GIS software using multiple browsers*, Mac or mobile devices.
