October 08, 2010-- GOLDSBORO, N.C. – Geographic Technologies Group (GTG) welcomes Richmond County Health Department, N.C. to the fast-growing community of MapNimbus users.  MapNimbus is an easy-to-use online mapping solution for the public that provides citizens with information on what is happening in their community.  Richmond County Health Department is currently using MapNimbus to show food services and lodging grades. It offers dynamic reporting tools that allow users to quickly analyze scores in their area.

MapNimbus has intuitive search capabilities allowing users to search by address or general location, such as restaurants, schools, and daycare facilities.  MapNimbus also includes e-mail notification capabilities.  MapNimbus will automatically e-mail users if there is an update within their predefined area, such as their favorite restaurant or their child’s school.

“GTG is excited to see Richmond County on MapNimbus,” said John Dombzalski, a GIS Solutions Provider at GTG.  “MapNimbus is on the cutting edge of public mapping solutions and proves to be a progressive step in the next generation of public relations.”

Richmond County Health Director, Dr. Tommy Jarrell agrees. “This health data has always been available to the public, but now, MapNimbus offers a much more intuitive and accessible avenue to view such data.”

MapNimbus will provide a noticeable return-on-investment at Richmond County Health Department, saving time and valuable resources for both citizens and County personnel.  It gives citizens an innovative approach to accessing important and relevant Environmental Health information.
