Tour Boston with the Map Viewer App
The Map Viewer app is an interactive tool for browsing map data. You can assemble and organize geodata layers, render geodata in 2-D, identify coordinates, view data attributes, and annotate your map.
Map objects are frequently created with descriptive tags, or names. You can manage names, and control the display of groups of objects with similar names.
