Maps and Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
South Ayrshire Council offers a number of online GIS facilities which are integrated throughout this web site. A GIS creates
maps from data pulled from databases and both static maps and interactive maps are provided for a variety of applications.
You can find out more about GIS and geographic information from
the
Ordnance Survey website.
Please note that while South Ayrshire Council has designed these applications for users on a standard internet connection,
the maps are generated as images using the Council's interactive mapping system and it may still take several seconds to download
each map image.

System Requirements
The interactive mapping applications on this site have been developed and tested for Internet Explorer 5.0 or later (not including IE 8 Beta), Netscape 6 or later, Firefox 1.2 or later,
Safari 3 or later and Opera 8 or later on a PC and Safari 1.3.2 or later on a Mac. In addition, your screen resolution should be set to 800 x 600 or greater.
Also note that the use of 'pop up blockers' in your browser may disable some options provided by this system. The
latest Micrsoft Windows XP service pack also contains a built in pop up blocker, which is switched on as standard. The pop up blocker in
this service pack may therefore disable some options provided by the GIS.
South Ayrshire Council also offers the ability to view maps with or without using the Adobe Flash version 8 plugin. The Adobe Flash plugin can be
downloaded and installed from here.
