GIS mapping and geocoding tools

Past work

Turn location data into something people can search, explore, and use in the field. Past work includes address lookup, rooftop geocoding, geographic boundaries, and printable field lists. Explore the public Oʻahu district map on the homepage.

The Challenge

A list of addresses is only useful in the field when people can find the right places and organize their next visits.

The Solution

  • Find nearby locations from an address.
  • Match addresses to rooftop coordinates.
  • Use geographic boundaries to organize mapped areas.
  • Turn mapped areas into printable field lists.

This work connects two views of the same information: an address someone recognizes and a geographic position a mapping tool can use. Geocoding supplies the coordinates. Boundary data adds the areas those locations belong to. Together, they make it possible to organize a list geographically instead of relying only on names or spreadsheet rows.

The public Oʻahu example shows precinct boundaries grouped by House district. It is a way to explore how smaller areas fit into a larger district, using an interactive map. The underlying field workflows also include printable lists, which carry the geographic organization into work away from the screen.

The public map and the private operational records serve different purposes. The map demonstrates the geographic view; it does not expose private contacts or field records. A similar GIS project starts by identifying the locations to map, the boundaries that matter, and the way people need to use the result.

Results

Past work turns address and boundary data into interactive views and printable field lists. The public example uses Oʻahu precinct boundaries grouped by House district. It demonstrates the geographic view without showing private contact or field records.
