Geographic Information

GIS (Geographic Information System) technology and software can give people a bird's eye view of P.E.I. The following videos show information, trends, and patterns that you may not see while driving around P.E.I. 

The computer-generated flyover videos were created by Municipal Affairs and Provincial Planning staff using ESRI's ArcGlobe program with the 2010 aerial photos draped over a digital elevation model of P.E.I. to give the 3D effect.
