GIS takes to the air

The June meeting of the Pine to Prairie User Group included a demonstration of the Otter Tail County GIS Department’s Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). It's used to take aerial photography for various county and city projects in Otter Tail County. The county also has the capability of using it for search & rescue missions.

Here's a video of the demonstration.

Pine to Prairie--and Back Again.



The Pine to Prairie GIS (Geographic Information Systems) User Group met at West Central Initiative on March 7. This group of GIS professionals and users meet on a quarterly basis to learn some new GIS practices, discuss topics of interest and network with other GIS users in the region. WCI hosts meetings and provides a grant to the group to cover the cost of web site hosting and some of the meeting expenses. For more information, about the group, visit its Web site.
