The City says whether you work in construction, development or real estate, or have an interest in local history, geoOttawa is a great resource. It’s also a useful reference for anyone involved in the community or Ottawa residents curious about places in your nation’s capital.
They have added a lot of new features to make it even easier to use on your preferred browser. And of course it’s mobile friendly so you can also use it on your tablet or smart phone. Other improvements include:
- improved drawing and measuring tools
