NextNav, Inc. is the developer of a 3D geolocation service known as Metropolitan Beacon System (MBS), a wide-area location and timing technology designed to provide services in areas where GPS or other satellite location signals cannot be reliably received. MBS consumes significantly less power than GPS and includes high-precision altitude.
This is a list of GIS data sources (including some geoportals) that provide information sets that can be used in geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial databases for purposes of geospatial analysis and cartographic mapping. This list categorizes the sources of interest.
Geographic information system (GIS) is a commonly used tool for environmental management, modelling and planning. As simply defined by Michael Goodchild, GIS is as "a computer system for handling geographic information in a digital form". [68] In recent years it has played an integral role in participatory, collaborative and open data philosophies.
WMS is a widely supported format for maps and GIS data accessed via the Internet and loaded into client side GIS software. Major commercial GIS and mapping software that support WMS include: Autodesk's Map 3D and Civil 3D products; Bentley Systems' MicroStation, Bentley Map, desktop and server based GIS products; Cadcorp SIS product suite; D3.js
The bridge joins the two parts of Beacon Falls bisected by the river. A second major historical Beacon Falls business, where many town residents worked over the years, was the Homer D.

A single beacon can transmit one, two or all three frametypes. The three frametypes are: Beacon protocol - Google's Eddystone. URL: a URL (i.e. a website link) is transmitted to the device, eliminating the need for an installed Mobile App. UID (similar to Apple's UUID): a 16 digit string of characters, which can identify the individual beacon.
Web GIS (also known as Web-Based GIS), or Web Geographic Information Systems, are GIS that employ the World Wide Web to facilitate the storage, visualization, analysis, and distribution of spatial information over the Internet.
