Mapping Center of Israel to launch Geography portal
Tel Aviv, Israel, December 09, 2007: The Mapping Center of Israel (MAPI, http://www.mapi.gov.il/) will soon
launch a new national geography portal that will provide visual information. The new site will have 120 information levels about land, outline plans, maps, trips, sites, aerial images, and historical maps. The information will be for free. MAPI says that the maps were created through collaboration with various ministries.
The national geography portal will provide easy-to-use information for the public, government agencies, and public bodies. MAPI says that the creation of common maps will improve government services and cut costs. The portal will provide land planning information, such as maps, aerial images, and additional information about blocks, parcels, and sections of land. The site will enable land buyers to obtain information about land ahead of a transaction, frequently saving on fees.
