SharedGeo – Collaborative Mapping Solutions

Our goal is to help government, non-profit, educational, and corporate entities share geospatial information for the public good.

We do this by providing technical expertise, research, facilities, education, grants, and products, including development of open-source software and web services. Take a look at some of the projects we have worked on so far, and bring us your ideas and see what we could build together.

  • Innovative Open-Source Solutions for Emergency Response

To help local responders during the Republican National Convention, SharedGeo programmers developed a Common Operating Picture that enabled diverse government units to share information

  • Service to the Community 

SharedGeo built a collaborative editing application to help local communities to work together to create and maintain a “state endorsed” layer of current, accurate information on schools, hospitals, fire stations and police stations, as well as innovative software for the bulk loading and distribution of virtually any type of point data.

  • Web Services and Open-Source Development

SharedGeo developed a system for the online distribution of disaster response maps used during 2009 flood response in the Red River Valley of the North (Minnesota and North Dakota),and in the Haiti Earthquake response.

  • Aerial Imagery Management

Our staff have developed tools for very rapid use of ARCHER imagery for emergency response, and continue to work on imagery processing and delivery projects.

  • U.S. National Grid Implementation

SharedGeo has been integral to the state’s nation-leading efforts to use the U.S. National Grid in the emergency services sector, and has on staff nationally recognized expertise in USNG implementation and product production.
