The Google Street view link has been added to the KGIS Lite viewer. To see the Google street view images:

1) Zoom in where you can see the edge of pavement.

2) Place your cursor over the street.

3) Double click the left mouse button.

A new window will popup and center the image where you clicked on the map. The image window will be facing north.  For more information click here for the KGIS Lite Viewer help.

On February 23, 2009, KUB officially kicked off its GIS Replacement Project, having contracted with Telvent Miner & Miner (TM&M). This three year project will include a new ESRI architecture, the migration of all GIS utility data and graphics, new interfaces to KUB's Customer Information and Outage Management systems, and utility tools for maintaining and viewing the migrated data.

The new GIS is replacing two important applications that have been used by KUB for over a decade:

• The Intergraph FRAMME system has been the foundation of KUB’s current GIS since the early 90s.  It is used by Engineering New Services (ENS) - Mapping to maintain all KUB GIS data.
• KGIS’s custom LandViewer was also KUB’s first GIS-viewing application and has evolved a great deal since its first installation in 1996.  It is currently used by over 400 people at KUB.

KUB's Project Manager is Kevin Cunningham. Conn McAnally will represent the KGIS Office on the project team.
